Arthur A.J. Jones was a ten-year-old fifth grader at Oliver Wendell Holmes school who was killed on October 17, 2007, on Chicago’s South Side. He was outside near his home when gunfire from a dispute struck him; he had no connection to the conflict. Arthur was described as bright and affectionate and enjoyed professional wrestling and model cars.

Three men — Steven McCaskill, Lesean Jackson, and Clarence Williams — were arrested and later charged in connection with his murder. The shooting drew public attention, community vigils, and calls for measures to protect children in neighborhoods plagued by ongoing gang-related violence.

If anyone knew Arthur, saw events around his neighborhood that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
