Eric Garth was 17 when he was shot and killed in Chicago, Illinois, on October 10, 2015. His death came during a year the city recorded 468 homicides and a marked rise in shootings, a spike linked in reporting to gang conflicts, socio-economic pressures, and the easy availability of illegal firearms.

The killing happened amid multiple other violent incidents that same weekend; the surge in 2015 disproportionately affected young men in neighborhoods with heightened gang activity. Increased police presence and community initiatives were in place but had limited success in reversing the rise in gun-related deaths that year.

Does anyone have information about Eric, where he spent time, or what happened that night?
