Sherman William Miller, 21, was fatally shot on November 26, 2012, as he left a funeral at St. Columbanus Catholic Church in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago. The service for James Holman drew about 500 people; as it was ending, gunfire erupted outside the church. Miller was killed and a 26-year-old man was critically wounded while witnesses described people fleeing in panic.

Miller was reported to have been affiliated with the Gangster Disciples, as was the funeral’s decedent, and authorities noted the shooting might be tied to a cycle of retaliation though they did not immediately confirm a direct gang motive. Community leaders present expressed heartbreak that violence had reached even funerals during an especially violent year for the city.

Did anyone at the funeral or nearby that day see something that could help explain who opened fire?
