Marcus Nunn was 16 when he was shot and killed on October 30, 2011, in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood of Chicago. He was reportedly standing near the 7800 block of South Sangamon Street in the evening when he was targeted and shot multiple times; he was pronounced dead after being taken to a nearby medical facility.

Marcus’s death came during a year that saw over 400 homicides in Chicago, and the report places his killing in the broader context of escalating gang conflicts and persistent gun violence affecting under-resourced neighborhoods. The family’s loss is one of many young lives cited as evidence of the city’s struggle to curb lethal violence despite community and local efforts.

If anyone knew Marcus, his routines, or witnessed what happened that night, please share information that could help clarify the circumstances of this killing.
