Percy Rounds was 15 and from Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood when he was shot and killed the night of July 21, 2008. He was walking with a 17-year-old friend when two unidentified men came from a nearby gangway and opened fire. Rounds was struck in the head and later died at a local hospital; his friend survived after being shot in the thigh.

At the time he was preparing to start his freshman year at Hyde Park Career Academy High School. His death was the second fatal shooting of a Chicago Public School student in West Pullman within about a month; Jeremy Jones had been killed just blocks away weeks earlier. The neighborhood’s string of violent incidents intensified concerns about youth safety, and family and community members called for justice while Rounds’s killers were not immediately apprehended.

If anyone knew Percy, his routines, or has information about the shooting, please share what can help the investigation.
