Maryrosa Green, 44, was fatally shot on February 2, 2010, inside a residence in Chicago’s Gresham neighborhood. She and a companion, Charles King, were both found dead at the scene in what investigators described as a double homicide. The attack was characterized in reports as appearing targeted rather than random, and the scene was described as particularly troubling.

The slaying occurred amid a surge of violent crime in Chicago in the early 2010s; that year the city recorded over 430 homicides. Investigators worked through various leads but faced obstacles such as limited witness cooperation and the broader challenges affecting Gresham, including gang activity and economic deprivation. Maryrosa Green’s death underscores the personal toll of that violence on families and communities.

If anyone knew Maryrosa, Charles King, or has information about the February 2, 2010 double homicide in Gresham, please share what you know.
