Dennis Prater was a 32-year-old man from Chicago who was killed on June 11, 2011. His death was one of the many homicides that year during a violent period for the city, which recorded over 400 murders in 2011 and grappled with widespread gun-related violence tied to gang activity and interpersonal conflicts.

The Chicago Police Department’s Detective Division investigated Prater’s case and recorded the location, time, and weapon used, but many cases from that surge were slow to resolve. Prater’s killing is presented as part of the larger toll that year took on families and neighborhoods across Chicago.

If anyone knew Dennis, his routines, or has information about what happened on June 11, 2011, please come forward.
