Mack V. McClinton, 22, was fatally shot in Chicago’s Washington Heights neighborhood in the early morning of January 21, 2017. Around 4:45 a.m. he was approached by an unknown assailant who opened fire, striking him multiple times; he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterward.

His death occurred amid a sharp rise in homicides and shootings in Chicago during 2017, with Washington Heights noted as one of the South Side areas heavily affected. Reports indicate McClinton’s case remained one of many unsolved homicides, with investigators facing limits in witness cooperation and the complexities of street-level violence that have hampered efforts to identify suspects and secure convictions.

Does anyone who knew Mack or who was in Washington Heights that morning have information that could help investigators?
