Ezell A. Watson, 34, was shot and killed on August 17, 2011, in Chicago. His death occurred during a year that saw an increase in homicides citywide and was counted among the many gun-related street fatalities the Chicago Police Department recorded in 2011.

The neighborhood where Watson was killed was described as experiencing considerable gun violence. Investigators noted that detectives were strained by limited resources and declining homicide clearance rates that year, and Watson’s case was affected by those same investigative pressures.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood in 2011 or who might have information about incidents on or around August 17 remember anything that could help bring clarity to Watson’s case?
