David Maslon, 61, was killed in Chicago, Illinois, on May 21, 2015. His death occurred during a year when the city experienced a marked rise in violent crime; Chicago recorded over 460 homicides in 2015, an increase from the prior year, with authorities linking the spike to ongoing gang activity and socio-economic problems in many neighborhoods.

The circumstances of Maslon’s homicide are described as reflective of broader safety issues in historically underserved areas that faced high crime levels and limited access to resources such as social programs and economic opportunities. The violent trends that year prompted intensified law enforcement tactics alongside calls for greater community engagement and long-term reform.
