Ronald A. Baskin, 21, was fatally shot on May 12, 2013, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago while visiting family for Mother’s Day. His death was one of several shootings that weekend and is described as part of the ongoing cycle of gun violence affecting Chicago’s South Side.

Ronald was a nephew of Hal Baskin, a longtime anti-violence activist and former gang member. Hal Baskin said the loss was devastating but has responded by intensifying his community work, focusing on engaging at-risk individuals to try to prevent further shootings. The account underlines both the personal grief for families and the broader struggles Englewood faces with endemic gun violence.

If anyone knew Ronald, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what you remember.
