Devon Fields, 23, was shot and killed on September 16, 2012, in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. He was found fatally shot in a residential yard, suffering multiple gunshot wounds inflicted by an unknown assailant.

Fields had worked as a youth worker with THE VOICE Newspapers and was active in community engagement and mentoring young people. His killing came amid a sharp rise in citywide violence in 2012, during a year when Chicago recorded the highest number of homicides nationally. The Austin neighborhood’s long-standing struggles with poverty and scarce resources are noted as part of the context for incidents like this.
