Henry Jr. K. Howard, 51, was shot and killed on May 7, 2012, in Chicago’s Roseland neighborhood. He was found with gunshot wounds and died at the scene. His death was one of many that year that contributed to Chicago’s alarming 2012 homicide total.

Roseland is described as an area long affected by socio-economic difficulties and high rates of gun violence. The Chicago Police Department and community groups increased patrols and outreach in response to the city’s violence, but investigations in neighborhoods like Roseland have often been hampered by lack of witness cooperation and other obstacles.

Anyone who knew Henry Howard or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
