Deontae L. Malone was 15 when he was shot and killed on December 28, 2011, near 65th and Mozart streets in Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood. He was walking with a friend in the late afternoon outside his home when he was struck multiple times.

Family remembered Deontae as a sweet, shy boy who stayed out of trouble and had been looking forward to his first date that weekend. The killing prompted vigils in the community and left his family devastated.

If anyone was near 65th and Mozart that afternoon or has information about who was responsible, please come forward.
