Todd Woods was 40 when he was shot and killed just after midnight on June 16, 2013, at a nightclub in the 900 block of East 79th Street in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood. He was one of four people struck in what was described as a mass shooting; three other victims were injured in the same incident.

The killing happened during a weekend of unusually heavy gun violence across the city that some reports called Bloody Sunday, and it occurred in a neighborhood already experiencing high rates of violent crime in 2013.

Investigators focused on determining the circumstances of the nightclub shooting and identifying who was responsible, while community members voiced concern about the cycle of violence and its impact on residents.
