Blake Lamb, 22, was shot multiple times, including once in the head, and found unresponsive on the sidewalk near the Chicago–Evanston border on July 14, 2013. The shooting occurred around 3:45 p.m. in the 1600 block of West Jonquil Terrace, near Calvary Catholic Cemetery and a block south of the Howard Street CTA station; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:17 p.m. Both Chicago and Evanston police responded because the location sits along their jurisdictional boundary.

The killing came amid a tense stretch in Rogers Park: another fatal shooting of a 26-year-old son of an alderman’s aide had taken place nearby on July 5. Lamb’s death drew police and onlookers to the scene, and community unrest followed, including reports of bottles thrown and a planned prayer vigil at Willye B. White Park the day after.

Did anyone in the area at that time see or hear anything that could help explain what happened?
