Ed Cooper was 15 when he was shot and killed on July 8, 2013, in Chicago. The shooting happened in daylight in the 600 block of North Lawndale Avenue while he was playing basketball; he was struck in the chest and pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Authorities said Cooper had no known gang affiliations or criminal history. His death was reported as part of a wave of gun violence that made 2013 a particularly violent year for the city and was cited by community members and on memorial sites as emblematic of the risks faced by residents regardless of involvement in crime.

Does anyone have memories of Ed, or information about what happened that day that could help shed light on the case?
