Tienne Pinson, 24, was shot and killed in Chicago on October 25, 2011. His death occurred during a year when the city recorded over 400 homicides, a period marked by concentrated gun violence in neighborhoods grappling with gang activity, poverty, and limited community resources.

Public data from that year show many victims were young and that shootings were often linked to gang and drug-related conflicts, highlighting systemic challenges facing affected communities and law enforcement. Pinson’s killing is one of many that underscored the need for broader interventions to address the roots of urban violence.
