Bryant Howse, a 20-year-old resident of Chicago, was shot and killed on November 5, 2010. He was on the sidewalk near 7000 South Emerald Avenue in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side at about 4:40 p.m. A friend transported Howse to Saint Bernard Hospital, where he gave officials the location where he said he had been shot; he was later transferred to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County and pronounced dead at 6:26 p.m.

Police who searched the spot Howse named found no evidence that a shooting had occurred there. Investigators noted Howse had known gang affiliations, which may have been related to the circumstances of his death. This killing was one of many during a violent period in Chicago, and it underscores ongoing safety challenges in neighborhoods such as Gresham.

Did anyone in Gresham at the time see or hear anything about this shooting, or know Bryant Howse’s movements that afternoon?
