He died at the scene.

The killing occurred amid a broader surge of homicides in Chicago during 2010, with West Lawn among neighborhoods facing sustained violent crime. The Chicago Police Department continued investigating such shootings, using community tips and surveillance to try to identify suspects, but cases of targeted attacks remained difficult to prevent.
