Damani Henard was 14 when he was shot and killed on July 3, 2013, while riding his bicycle in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. Two assailants ran across North Avenue and opened fire as he rode; witnesses and a passerby held him in the street but he died at the scene. His family believes he was targeted in a case of mistaken identity.

Damani had recently graduated from West Park Academy and was due to start at Oak Park and River Forest High School that fall. His mother, Yolanda Paige, had moved to Oak Park to protect him from gang violence, yet he was killed while visiting his former neighborhood. Family members describe him as a kind, sports-loving teen who enjoyed skateboarding and time with friends and relatives. Witnesses have been reluctant to come forward and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Damani, saw him that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
