Raymond Liggins, 21, was shot and killed on July 10, 2009, in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. The shooting occurred in the street amid a period when gun violence was widespread in the city and particularly acute in neighborhoods like South Shore.

Liggins’s death fits a broader pattern from 2009 of young men being killed in areas facing economic hardship and limited community resources. Investigators at the time contended with low witness cooperation and a high volume of violent incidents, which complicated efforts to reduce homicides.

If anyone knew Raymond, was present that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help shed light on what happened.
