Louis C. Wherry, a 36-year-old resident of Chicago, was fatally shot on October 4, 2013. The killing occurred on the city’s northwest side during a weekend that saw at least four people killed and 13 others wounded in gun violence across Chicago.

Wherry’s death was one of several homicides reported in that neighborhood in October 2013, part of a broader surge of gun-related incidents the community and law enforcement were confronting. Family members and local residents expressed deep sorrow after his death.
