Ronnie Finch, 25, was fatally shot on March 29, 2015, on Chicago’s South Side. According to reports, Finch was standing on the street when an unknown assailant approached and opened fire; Finch was struck multiple times and died at the scene.

The killing occurred during a year of rising gun violence in Chicago; 2015 saw 468 homicides, and victims from vulnerable neighborhoods, especially young men, were disproportionately affected. The account links Finch’s death to broader problems on the South Side, including poverty, limited community resources, and gang activity that contribute to recurring cycles of violence.

No suspect is named in the report. If anyone saw Finch that night or has information about who approached him, please share tips with Chicago authorities.
