Emauni Ryhane, a 24-year-old Black woman from Sauk Village, Illinois, died in the final days of summer 2024 after being shot in Chicago.

On the night of Wednesday, August 28, 2024, around 9:40 p.m., Emauni was traveling in a vehicle on the city’s South Side. As she passed through the 1500 block of East 95th Street in the South Deering neighborhood, someone in a silver sport utility vehicle opened fire. Emauni was struck in the head by the gunfire.

First responders rushed her to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she was admitted in critical condition. For several days, medical staff fought to save her life, but her injuries were too severe. Emauni Ryhane was pronounced dead on the morning of Saturday, August 31, 2024.

Chicago police are investigating the drive-by shooting. The person or people responsible were reportedly in a silver SUV. As of early September 2024, no arrests had been made in connection with the homicide, and no one was in custody. The case remains unsolved.
