Antwan T. James, a 46-year-old Black man, was shot in an alley in the 1200 block of West 72nd Place in Chicago’s West Englewood around 9 p.m. on July 21, 2014. Someone approached and opened fire, striking him in the chest, hip, arm, and leg. A friend rushed him from the scene; he was treated and later transferred to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died of his injuries on August 3, 2014.

Contemporaneous reports describe a sudden, close-range attack in a stretch of Englewood that saw frequent police calls that summer. No arrests or suspects were identified in the immediate aftermath, and records and neighborhood coverage do not show any charges or named suspects publicly linked to his killing, leaving the case without a public resolution.

If anyone knew Antwan James, saw activity in the alley off 72nd Place that night, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
