Victor Damian was 15 when he was fatally shot on March 18, 2013, on the 2800 block of South Spaulding Avenue in Chicago’s South Lawndale neighborhood. Known as King Smokes, he was struck three times in the back of the head at point-blank range after a gunman approached from behind, grabbed his neck, and fired. Victor was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead later that night.

Witnesses said the shooter rode in a blue sedan with three others and left the scene quietly after the killing. Neighbors set up candles and notes at a memorial for Victor; some reported he had been seen flashing gang signs and speculated the shooter might have been from a rival group. The shooting came amid multiple West Side shootings that day, and fear of retaliation has been cited as hindering efforts to solve the case. If anyone knew Victor or saw the blue sedan that day, please share what you know.
