Fearro Denard, an 18-year-old from Chicago, was shot and killed on May 25, 2013, in the South Shore neighborhood. The shooting occurred in an alley between Dorchester and Dante avenues, just north of 74th Street and not far from his home; he was pronounced dead at the scene around 9:30 p.m.

Denard’s murder came during an especially violent weekend in the city when six people were killed and 11 others wounded in shootings. His death is described as part of a wider surge in gun-related homicides across Chicago in 2013, amid concerns about gang activity, strained public safety resources, and recent policy decisions such as the Chicago School Board’s vote to close 49 schools that many feared would worsen instability in vulnerable neighborhoods.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or remember seeing anything in that South Shore alley on May 25, 2013?
