Martrell A. Raggs, 22, was shot and killed on February 17, 2012, on Chicago’s West Side while visiting his sister’s home. Raggs was the only person struck and died after being taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital.

Family members said they believed Raggs was a mistaken target and that another relative may have been intended. Relatives described him as a peacemaker who wanted to own a mechanic shop and noted he left behind a one-year-old daughter and a baby boy on the way. His family also expressed frustration about the pace of the investigation and placed the killing in the context of elevated violence on Chicago’s West and South Sides during 2012.

Did anyone who lived near that block or attended that family gathering see anything unusual that evening?
