On August 6, 2013, Demetrius Cooper, 35, and his older brother Leandre Cooper were shot and killed while sitting in a parked vehicle on the 100 block of East 120th Street in Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood. The attack happened around 3:40 a.m., and both men died at the scene. The double homicide was described as particularly shocking because the brothers were targeted while in a familiar neighborhood.

Their deaths came amid a week of multiple violent incidents across Chicago, underscoring the city’s struggle with gun violence and the challenges facing West Pullman and other South Side communities. Efforts to address violence in the area have continued, but the killings of Demetrius and Leandre Cooper remain a stark example of the toll on families and neighborhoods.

If anyone knew the brothers or has information about what happened that morning, please share what you can with investigators.
