Stanford T. Scruggs, 22, was killed on July 12, 2007, in Chicago, Illinois. His death occurred during a particularly violent period for the city, when homicides were concentrated on the West, South and Southwest sides. Neighborhoods such as Englewood and West Garfield Park are cited as having some of the highest homicide rates in that era, and data from the late 2000s shows those areas faced rates ranging roughly from about 10 to over 40 homicides per 100,000 residents.

Did anyone who knew Stanford or who lived in his neighborhood at the time witness events leading up to his death or have information that could add clarity?
