Joseph Briggs was 16 when he was shot on the front porch of his home in Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood on June 10, 2012. The shooting occurred around 8 p.m., and a bullet from a passing car struck Briggs in the head. He was taken to hospital and pronounced dead early the next morning.

Briggs’ death came during a particularly deadly weekend in Chicago, part of a broader surge in gun violence that claimed many young lives. Family and friends mourned a promising young man whose life was cut short; the case underscores the toll of drive-by shootings on Chicago communities.
