Dominique Blackmon was a 21-year-old male who was fatally shot in Chicago, Illinois, on September 12, 2011. His death was counted among the 433 homicides recorded in Chicago that year, a total that remained well below the peak levels of the 1990s but showed only a slight decline from 2010.

The case is presented against a backdrop of persistent gun violence in parts of Chicago, where many 2011 homicides were linked to gang conflicts, illegal firearms, and socio-economic pressures concentrated on the South and West sides. Dominique’s death reflects those broader trends in the city during 2011.

Does anyone have information about Dominique, where he spent his time, or the circumstances surrounding the shooting?
