Phillip M. Cartledge, 24, was fatally shot in Chicago on September 15, 2011. His death occurred during a year when the city recorded over 430 homicides and continued to struggle with rising violent crime.

The account links Cartledge’s killing to the broader pattern of gun violence affecting vulnerable Chicago neighborhoods in 2011, a climate shaped by gang activity, economic instability, and limited community resources. Public details about suspects or the specific circumstances of his shooting are sparse, a situation that mirrored many homicides from that year and left families without closure.

Does anyone have information about Phillip Cartledge or his whereabouts in the days before September 15, 2011?
