Cavin McConnell, 34, was fatally shot on August 29, 2015, in Chicago, Illinois. The killing occurred during a year when the city experienced a sharp rise in shootings and homicides; 2015 saw more than 480 people die in homicides citywide, and McConnell was one of many victims that contributed to those totals.

The location of the shooting is described as an area of the city long affected by gun violence and systemic problems such as poverty, limited economic opportunity, and ongoing gang conflict. Those conditions are cited as part of the broader context that year and help explain why certain neighborhoods suffered repeated violence despite law enforcement and community efforts.
