James Holman, 32, was fatally shot on November 19, 2012, near the 6000 block of South Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The killing was reported as gang-related and was described in accounts as connected to the cycle of retaliation between rival gangs; Holman was said to be affiliated with the Gangster Disciples.

The violence continued a week later at Holman’s funeral. On November 26, 2012, a shooting outside St. Columbanus Church left Sherman Miller, 21, dead and Deonte Ousley, 26, critically injured as they were leaving the service; both were reported to be members of the Gangster Disciples. Eyewitnesses described hundreds of mourners fleeing as the scene turned chaotic, and Reverend Corey Brooks, who delivered the eulogy, called for peace while witnessing the outbreak of violence.

If anyone has information about the November 19 shooting near 6000 South Michigan Avenue or the November 26 shooting outside St. Columbanus Church, please share what is known.
