On April 14, 2010, seven-month-old Jihad Larry was killed in a mass shooting inside a Chicago home that also claimed multiple family members’ lives. The attack was carried out by Jihad’s father, 32-year-old James Larry. Other victims included James’s 19-year-old pregnant wife, Twanda Thompson; his 16-year-old niece, Keyshai Fields, who was also pregnant; and a 3-year-old niece, Keleasha Larry. Two unborn children also died. Two relatives — James’s mother, Leona Larry Burton, and his 13-year-old nephew, Demond Larry — were critically wounded but survived. One child in the house escaped unharmed.

After the shooting, James Larry was taken into custody and charged with four counts of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree murder, and two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child. He gave a videotaped confession, led police to the discarded weapon, and reports said he claimed to have heard voices; his attorney said he had an eight-year history of mental health treatment. Jihad was one of the youngest victims in a family massacre that devastated relatives and the wider community.

If anyone knew Jihad or the family or has information about that day, please share what might help investigators or offer context for those trying to understand this tragedy?
