Quintin M. Jackson, 22, was shot and killed on April 23, 2014, in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The homicide occurred during a year when the city recorded hundreds of killings, with violence concentrated on the South and West Sides.

Jackson’s death is presented as part of a larger pattern of gun violence, gang-related conflicts, and entrenched socio-economic problems that affected many families and communities in Chicago in 2014. Community members and local authorities continued efforts to address those issues, but the combination of systemic poverty, limited employment opportunities, and ongoing disputes made reducing violence difficult.
