Shawn Hollaway, 21, was fatally shot in Chicago on January 18, 2015. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds amid a year that saw a sharp rise in homicides across the city, where gunshot wounds accounted for 88 percent of killings in 2015. The case is described as one of many that year reflecting widespread gun violence in neighborhoods struggling with gang conflicts, economic disparities, and limited community resources.

Officials reported that the Chicago Police Department faced difficulties resolving many homicides in 2015, and the clearance rate for killings that year remained low compared with previous years. Shawn’s death is part of the broader pattern of violence that overwhelmed the city in 2015.

If anyone knew Shawn, saw him on January 18, 2015, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
