Hakizimana Scott, 38, was shot and killed in Chicago on December 23, 2014. He was found inside a parked car, seated in the driver’s seat; authorities described the incident as a targeted shooting. Scott’s death occurred amid a day that produced multiple shooting victims in the city and during a year when Chicago recorded hundreds of homicides—390 reported by the Chicago Police Department and 410 counted by the Cook County medical examiner’s office by December 2014.

Friends and family remembered Scott as a caring, down-to-earth person who was loved by those who knew him. His killing remained largely unsolved, reflecting the broader challenges Chicago faced that year with firearm-related violence and unsolved cases.
