Paris L. Brown was 21 when she was fatally shot on June 9, 2014, on Chicago’s South Side in the 7300 block of South Perry Avenue. She was seated in a parked vehicle with a man at about 10:55 p.m. when a dark-colored SUV pulled up and someone inside opened fire. Both occupants of the parked car were struck; emergency personnel responded and Brown later died of her injuries.

The killing occurred during a year marked by numerous shootings across the city, with South Side neighborhoods among the hardest hit. The attack left a lasting impact on Brown’s family and the community and is one of many incidents in 2014 that illustrate the broader problem of gun violence in Chicago.

If anyone knew Paris, was present that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist the investigation.
