Shirley Morgan, 46, was killed on October 27, 2008, on a street in Chicago’s Grand Boulevard neighborhood. The attack occurred during a year when the city was experiencing a sharp rise in homicides; by year’s end Chicago had topped 500 killings and many neighborhoods on the South Side, including Grand Boulevard, were hit hard.

The case sits within that larger pattern of increased gang activity and interpersonal disputes that escalated into fatal violence in 2008. Morgan’s death added to the many unresolved cases that left families and the community mourning amid efforts to curb the surge in killings.

If anyone knew Shirley Morgan, saw the area on October 27, 2008, or has information that could help, please come forward.
