Erika Prince, a 32-year-old special education teacher at Arthur Dixon Elementary School, was shot and killed on June 1, 2008, while sitting in her parked car near 87th and Euclid Avenue outside a relative’s home in the Calumet Heights neighborhood of Chicago. She had taught for six years and was well regarded by students and colleagues; her nine-year-old daughter was an honor student at the same school. Prince’s niece and two children were inside the relative’s house when the shooting occurred.

Authorities described multiple possibilities for the motive, including a random act of violence or mistaken identity, but did not immediately identify a clear motive or suspects. The case was initially handled as a death investigation rather than formally classified as a homicide, raising concerns about how some violent deaths are counted and whether the case would receive sustained attention.

Does anyone have information about Prince, her routines that night, or the Calumet Heights area around 87th and Euclid Avenue on June 1, 2008?
