Tyjuan Poindexter was 14 when he was shot and killed on September 19, 2015, in Chicago’s Kenwood neighborhood. He had been playing basketball with friends when a drive-by shooting struck him in the head; he died at the scene. A 15-year-old friend was wounded in the same incident but survived.

Tyjuan’s family said he wasn’t involved in gang activity and described him as a loving, caring child who had begged his mother for permission to play outside that evening. The shooting came during a violent weekend that included multiple shootings across Chicago and prompted neighbors to organize mentoring and safer activities for local youth.
