Corey Mc Claurin, a 17-year-old resident of Chicago, was shot and killed on September 19, 2009, in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the city’s South Side. He was walking in the area when he was attacked and became one of many young people killed by gun violence in Chicago that year.

Auburn Gresham and similar neighborhoods were experiencing frequent shootings and gang activity in 2009, with poverty, limited youth services and strained relations with police cited as factors that complicated solving cases and preventing further violence. Corey’s death resonated with his community as another young person lost before having the chance to escape that cycle of violence.

Does anyone who knew Corey or who was in Auburn Gresham on September 19, 2009, have information that could help piece together what happened?
