Darrieon D. Gunn, age 20, was shot and killed on September 24, 2015, in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood.

Gunn, known to family and friends as Scoota, was remembered by loved ones as caring and humorous; online tributes included candlelight remembrances and heartfelt messages.

His death came during a year when Chicago saw an alarming spike in violent crime and an increase in homicides, and it joined many other fatal shootings that strained law enforcement efforts to obtain witness cooperation. The loss highlighted the broader challenges facing South Side neighborhoods, where economic and social disparities contribute to persistent violence and community insecurity.
