Omar M Kebbeh, 22, was shot and killed on March 12, 2012, in the Washington Park neighborhood of Chicago. His death was recorded as the 68th murder in Chicago for 2012, a year when homicides rose notably compared with prior years.

Omar’s killing was followed months later by the drive-by shooting death of his younger brother Muhammed Kebbeh on the South Side, leaving the family—originally from Gambia—grappling with multiple losses in a short span. Relatives had expressed fears for Muhammed’s safety after Omar’s death, and the two deaths were framed by those close to them as part of the wider problem of gun violence affecting vulnerable Chicago neighborhoods.

Does anyone have memories of Omar, the Kebbeh family, or information about the Washington Park incident that could help piece together what happened?
