Carl Roberson, 23, was shot and killed on July 4, 2010, in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. At about 7:57 a.m. on the 5400 block of West Chicago Avenue a man exited a white vehicle and opened fire while Roberson was standing on the sidewalk, striking him in the abdomen. Roberson was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital and was pronounced dead at 10:32 a.m.

The homicide occurred in a neighborhood long affected by gun violence and gang activity; Roberson’s death on Independence Day is one of many shootings that year that underlined ongoing safety challenges in Austin.

Did anyone in the Austin area around West Chicago Avenue that morning see the white vehicle or have information about who might have fired?
