Jordan Rashad Dawson was 19 when he was fatally shot in Englewood, Illinois, on March 25, 2013. The shooting happened in the evening and Dawson was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. The neighborhood’s ongoing problem with violence and gang activity is noted in reports about the case.

Investigators treated the incident as likely gang-related and believed Dawson may have been caught in the crossfire of a gang dispute, though there was no concrete evidence linking him directly to gangs. The inquiry encountered challenges common to gang-area cases, including limited witness cooperation.

There were no immediate arrests and police continued to seek suspects and evidence. Dawson’s death prompted community calls for more resources to address youth violence and public safety in Englewood. If anyone has information about that March 25, 2013 shooting or knew Jordan, please come forward.
