Demetrius Wooten was 18 when he was shot and killed on August 10, 2015, on Chicago’s South Side. The outline of the incident in the available report notes he was struck while outside in a neighborhood experiencing frequent gang-related violence and systemic problems such as poverty and scarce resources.

His death came during a summer when shootings and homicides in Chicago had risen sharply, with many young people affected. Community leaders at the time urged more resources and programs to address the broader causes of violence that continued to claim lives like Wooten’s.

If anyone knew Demetrius, his routines, or what happened that day, authorities and the community may still welcome information.
