Hammood T Dawoudi, 23, was killed June 18, 2015, in a gang-related shooting in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood. He was a bystander and not the intended target, struck in crossfire during an exchange of gunfire that investigators linked to gang activity.

One person wounded in the same incident, Deshawn Danzler, was later charged with contempt of court in 2019 after refusing to testify before a grand jury; prosecutors sought a substantial sentence but Danzler received time served. No arrest has been made in Dawoudi’s killing, though officials say the suspected shooter was in custody on an unrelated charge.

Witnesses’ unwillingness to cooperate has been cited as a major obstacle in the investigation, a factor described as common in cases tied to gang violence. Does anyone have information about Hammood Dawoudi, his movements that night, or the shooting in Chatham?
