Antonio D. Givan, 35, was shot and killed on July 4, 2012, in Chicago, Illinois. His death occurred during a year when the city experienced a sharp rise in homicides; 2012 ended with 506 homicides and unusually high levels of gun violence concentrated in neighborhoods with poverty and gang activity. That year’s increase has been linked in part to unusually warm weather and to the disbanding of specialized gang units that had been assigned to hot spots. The July 4 holiday was noted as a peak time for gun violence, and Givan’s homicide added to the grim tally for the city in 2012.
