Trevor Deonte Williams, a 20-year-old man from Chicago, was shot and killed on November 19, 2011. Born March 26, 1991, he worked in construction for a major company and also at the shoe department in Ford City Mall. He attended Harper High School and was remembered by family and friends as very smart, well liked, and having a smile that could light up a room.

Trevor’s death occurred during a year when Chicago recorded 433 homicides, part of a broader wave of gun violence that affected many neighborhoods. The loss prompted tributes and candlelight remembrances from those who knew him. The circumstances of his death are framed within discussions about violence, policing, and underlying social issues in the city at that time.
