On May 20, 2007, 19-year-old Marlon D. Price was killed in Chicago, Illinois. His death occurred during a year when the city experienced high homicide rates, with violence concentrated in several West and South side community areas.

Data from the Illinois Violent Death Reporting System highlights that community areas such as Englewood, West Garfield Park, and Greater Grand Crossing had especially high homicide rates per capita in 2007. Economic hardship, gang conflicts, and the proliferation of firearms are cited as contributing factors to the elevated violence that year. Price’s death is presented as one of many representing the severe impact of that violence on Chicago’s youth and neighborhoods.
