Torrence L. Wright, 20, was fatally shot on June 11, 2011, in Chicago’s South Deering neighborhood. Wright was reportedly shot on the street, one of hundreds of gun violence victims during a year that saw 433 homicides citywide. His death is described as part of a pattern of violence concentrated on the South and West sides, with social problems such as poverty, unemployment and limited opportunity cited as exacerbating factors and gang activity mentioned as a contributing element.

The Chicago Police Department investigated the killing; the account notes that many homicides from that period proved difficult to resolve amid limited witness cooperation and other investigative challenges. Wright’s death formed part of a grim surge in shootings that community groups and law enforcement were struggling to counter.

Did anyone in South Deering at the time have information about Torrence Wright’s last known movements or about the shooting that could help clarify what happened?
