Anthony Jones was 22 when he was shot and killed in Chicago on June 24, 2012. His death came during a year of sharply increased gun violence in the city, when Chicago recorded over 500 homicides compared with 448 the year before. That weekend alone four people were killed by shootings and more than 30 others wounded.

The shooting that killed Anthony is described as part of broader summer violence tied to gang conflicts and easy access to firearms. Many homicide investigations from that period remained unsolved, a situation attributed to difficulties obtaining evidence and cooperation in neighborhoods affected by gang activity and mistrust of police. Authorities and community groups encouraged tips, including through Crime Stoppers, and offered rewards for information that could lead to arrests.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood in June 2012 or who has information about Anthony’s case have details to share with investigators?
