Shannon Moore was 18 when he was fatally shot on November 28, 2009, in Chicago, Illinois. The shooting happened in the hallway of a building on East 44th Street, where Moore was found with multiple gunshot wounds. The killing took place during a violent holiday weekend that included several fatal shootings across the city.

Shannon’s death was one of multiple homicides that weekend, illustrating the toll of gun violence on young people in neighborhoods struggling with poverty, gang activity, and limited community resources. Community responses have included law enforcement actions and grassroots efforts to reduce violence, but the problem persisted in areas such as the South Side where this shooting occurred.

Does anyone have information about Shannon, the building on East 44th Street, or the events of that weekend that could help clarify what happened?
