Darius Oliver, a 21-year-old African American man, was shot during a drive-by near Wilson Avenue and Sheridan Road in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood on August 19, 2013. The shooting occurred about 5:57 p.m. outside Uptown Baptist Church, a designated Safe Passage route, while the church was hosting a community meal service. Witnesses reported roughly 20 gunshots; five people were injured and Oliver suffered a critical gunshot wound to the head.

Oliver was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and remained on life support until he died on August 23, 2013. Authorities have noted the location sits on a dividing line between rival gang territories and have said the attack may have been gang-related, though his girlfriend, Brianna Williams, said Oliver had no gang ties and had recently moved from California to reconnect with his mother and had just finished his first day at a new job.

Community members held a vigil at the church calling for an end to the violence. No charges were filed after initial reports that three people were persons of interest, and the Chicago Police Department is continuing its investigation. Did anyone in the Uptown area see or hear anything that night that could help identify those responsible?
