Antonio E. Cobbins, 39, was shot and killed in Chicago, Illinois on January 22, 2012. His death came during a year when the city recorded over 500 homicides and experienced a sharp rise in gun violence that affected many neighborhoods.

The account notes citywide efforts to curb violence in 2012, such as expanded community policing and involvement by local organizations, but says those measures were overwhelmed by the scope of the surge.
