George Dunn was 23 when he was fatally shot on March 10, 2012, in Chicago. He was shot multiple times in the Gresham neighborhood, one of several Chicago areas struggling with persistent gun violence that year. Dunn’s death came during 2012’s sharp rise in killings, a year that pushed the city’s murder count past 500 after 435 the year before and recorded over 2,400 shootings by year end.

The case illustrates how individual tragedies fed a larger spike in violence and the limits of the initiatives city officials and community leaders pursued amid deep-seated problems such as poverty and gang influence. If anyone knew George Dunn, saw activity in Gresham around March 10, 2012, or has information about this shooting, please share what is known.
