Joseph Smith, 23, was fatally shot on the evening of September 21, 2015, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. While walking in the 5500 block of West Potomac Avenue at about 6:15 p.m., an unidentified assailant approached and opened fire, striking Smith in the back and left leg. He was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he was later pronounced dead.

Smith lived on the 1500 block of South Luna Avenue in Chicago. Authorities did not disclose a motive, and no arrests or suspect identifications have been reported; the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who lived in or near Austin at that time remember seeing or hearing anything on the evening of September 21, 2015?
