Carlton Archer, 17, was shot and killed on November 11, 2011, in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side. He was found in an alley behind garbage cans at about 10 p.m., suffering multiple gunshot wounds, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Known as Tutu, Archer was part of a community affected by gang-related violence; fellow members of the Fly Boy Gang mourned his death and rapper Billionaire Black posted tributes expressing grief.

Archer’s killing was one of many homicides in Chicago in 2011 that disproportionately affected young men of color in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The case underscores the ongoing cycle of gun violence in areas like Woodlawn and the challenges faced by at-risk youth there. If anyone knew Carlton, saw him that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward with what can help the investigation.
