Ricky Grant, 36, was fatally shot on September 5, 2008, while sitting in a vehicle in the 2500 block of West 63rd Street in Chicago. His death was one of multiple, apparently unrelated shootings that weekend on the South Side, where victims ranged from 17 to 48 years and incidents occurred in neighborhoods including Auburn-Gresham, Englewood, and Grand Crossing.

Grant’s killing was recorded among seven homicides over three days on the South Side, a stretch that police said produced few immediate arrests. The broader pattern underscored persistent gun violence in those communities and the difficulties investigators faced when witnesses did not come forward.

If anyone recalls seeing activity on West 63rd Street around September 5, 2008, or has information about Ricky Grant’s shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
