Earl M. Cunningham was an 18-year-old male killed in Chicago, Illinois, on October 30, 2012. His death is recorded among the many homicides that year as the city’s total passed 500, part of a sharp rise in violent crime that reversed earlier declines and placed heavy strain on the Chicago Police Department.

His death is presented as one of the youth homicides tied into a broader pattern of gang-related violence and socio-economic struggles that affected several Chicago neighborhoods in 2012.
