Patrice M. Brown was a 17-year-old female shot and killed in Chicago, Illinois, on August 27, 2007. Her death is recorded in the city’s homicide tallies from that period.

Patrice’s murder occurred during a stretch of years when Chicago faced elevated levels of gun violence, especially from 2007 through 2011. Those years saw numerous homicides that disproportionately affected young people and communities facing socio-economic challenges, and law enforcement and neighborhoods continued to struggle with how to curb the wave of shootings.
