Oduro A. Yeboah, 22, was fatally shot on October 28, 2014, in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. He was found wounded in an area with a history of gang violence, though it is not clear whether gang activity played a role in his death. Yeboah had told his family he hoped to return to school the following year; those plans were never realized when the shooting claimed his life during a year that saw a surge in gun violence across the city.

Community members, organizations and Crime Stoppers publicized the case and urged witnesses to come forward, but no arrests were announced immediately after the incident. The investigation underscored challenges in solving homicides in neighborhoods where distrust of police can limit cooperation. If anyone knew Oduro Yeboah, saw activity in Uptown on October 28, 2014, or has information that could help identify the shooter, please come forward.
