Darryl Manns was 22 when he was fatally shot on August 21, 2012, on a sidewalk in Chicago’s Chicago Lawn neighborhood. His death came during a year of sharply rising violence in the city, when over 500 homicides were recorded and shootings increased about 11 percent from the previous year.

The neighborhood is described as having been hit hard by gang-related activity and socio-economic challenges that authorities and community members said fed the spike in killings. Manns’ death is one of many from that summer that underscored how widespread and deadly the violence had become in Chicago in 2012.
