Dionte T. Young was 24 when he was shot dead on the evening of August 5, 2010, while walking home in Chicago’s Auburn Gresham neighborhood. He was on South Hermitage Avenue, almost at the 8800 block near 8829 South Hermitage, when an unseen assailant came up behind him and fired one shot that entered the back of his neck and traveled into his head. Neighbors and passersby called police and paramedics; Dionte was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center and pronounced dead at 9:01 p.m.

Police later said the investigation produced no suspect. Family, friends, anti-crime advocates and Cook County Crime Stoppers circulated flyers and offered up to a $1,000 reward for information, but no arrest or public identification of a gunman has been reported. The case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Dionte, saw activity near the 8800 block of South Hermitage on August 5, 2010, or has information that could help, please come forward.
