Marlon D. Obannor, 31, was fatally shot on July 4, 2013, while sitting on a porch in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. in the 6200 block of South Marshfield Avenue when two unidentified people came from a gangway and opened fire, leaving Obannor mortally wounded; he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

The killing occurred during a violent holiday weekend that included a large number of shootings citywide. The report notes Englewood’s long-standing struggles with violence tied to economic hardship, gang conflicts, and illegal firearms, and places Obannor’s death within a broader surge of homicides in Chicago in 2013.

If anyone knew Marlon or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
