Jaylin Johnson, an 18-year-old student home from Miles College for summer break, was shot in the head and killed on May 28, 2012, in the Roseland neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. Another man was wounded in the same incident; both were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where Johnson later died. The shooting occurred during Memorial Day weekend, a period that saw an unusually high number of shootings across Chicago that year — his death was one of 10 fatal shootings over the holiday weekend.

Johnson’s family and community members mourned the loss of a young person described as having potential. Community organizations such as CeaseFire worked with the family and stressed early intervention as a way to prevent further violence.

Did anyone in Roseland at the time know Jaylin or have information about the shooting that night?
