Darius Parish was 20 and a student at St. Xavier University when he was shot and killed on November 27, 2011, in Chicago’s West Englewood neighborhood. He had graduated from Whitney Young Magnet High School and was studying to become a pharmacist. His death deeply affected his family and community, who remember him as a bright young man with a promising future.

The case carried an additional layer of tragedy when Parish’s stepfather, a Chicago Police Sergeant, learned the victim was his own stepson while working at the crime scene. The killing underscored the broader problem of gun violence affecting young people in the city during that period.

If anyone knew Darius, his routines, or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
