Jajuan Porter was 18 when he was fatally shot on May 6, 2014, in the Chatham neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. About 9:50 p.m. he was standing on the sidewalk in the 7900 block of South Vincennes Avenue when two gunmen approached and opened fire, striking him multiple times. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center and died shortly after arriving.

The shooting was one of several gun-related homicides affecting young men in Chicago at that time, and the motive and any suspect information remain unclear. His death added to the toll of violence in a neighborhood that has faced persistent safety challenges. If anyone knew Jajuan or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
