Damien G. Turner was 18 when he was fatally shot on August 15, 2010, in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood. A charismatic activist and co-founder of Fearless Leading by the Youth (FLY), Turner had been working to improve conditions at juvenile detention centers. He was shot in the back just after midnight near a South Side intersection.

Turner’s death became emblematic of the community’s struggles with violence and the lack of nearby trauma care facilities, and it helped spark continued activism for improved healthcare access in the area. Does anyone have information about that night or about Turner’s work with FLY?
