Gregory McDaniel, 38, was fatally shot on September 4, 2017, in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood of Chicago. Known by the nickname Speedy, he had ties to both Chicago and Rockford, Illinois. The shooting occurred during 2017’s marked surge in gun violence across the city, and his death was one of many that year contributing to a high homicide toll.

Garfield Ridge is not usually seen as one of Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods, but McDaniel’s killing was cited as an example of deadly incidents increasing there. The circumstances of his shooting remained largely unsolved, reflecting how many cases from that period produced limited closure for families and communities.
