Michael Wilson, 22, was shot and killed on September 2, 2007, in Chicago’s West Englewood neighborhood. Emergency responders were called after reports of gunfire and found Wilson unresponsive; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

His death occurred during a period when Chicago, especially the South and West sides, recorded numerous homicides and struggled with gang-related violence and easy access to guns.

Wilson’s killing is one of many young lives cited to illustrate the ongoing impact of gun violence on community safety in that area. If anyone knew Michael or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
