Marcus L. Williams was 28 when he was shot and killed in Chicago’s Washington Park neighborhood on May 12, 2010. The fatal shooting occurred during a year the city was experiencing elevated levels of violent crime, with neighborhoods like Washington Park repeatedly affected by shootings—often involving young men and sometimes tied to disputes between rival groups.

Williams’ death is one of many that year contributing to a troubling trend of escalating gun violence in Chicago, and his loss is recorded among efforts to remember victims such as Never Forget Chicago.
