Charles L. McClinton, 45, was shot and killed on June 23, 2009, in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead shortly after emergency services arrived that late afternoon.

The killing happened amid a year of rising homicides in the city and in a part of West Garfield Park that had been struggling with increasing gun violence and gang activity. Investigators faced obstacles in the probe, including the reluctance of potential witnesses to come forward because of fears of retaliation.
