David J. Kitka, 29, was shot in the head and found in the early hours of November 4, 2012, in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago. He was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

His killing came during a violent year for Chicago, which recorded over 500 homicides in 2012. Belmont Cragin and other neighborhoods were coping with increased gun violence, including an uptick in gang-related incidents, along with poverty and limited resources that community members and local authorities saw as part of the larger problem. Witness cooperation was reported to be hampered by fear of retaliation, complicating prevention and investigation efforts.

Does anyone who lived in Belmont Cragin in 2012 or who knew David have information that could shed light on what happened that night?
