Terrell D Skyes, age 20, was killed in Chicago on February 20, 2016. His death occurred during a year that saw a sharp rise in killings across the city, with over 500 homicides reported by the end of the summer and many of those deaths caused by shootings.

The broader context cited around Skyes’ death includes concentrated violence in neighborhoods affected by gang activity and high unemployment, frequent gunfire (an estimated 82 shootings per week in 2016), and concerns about firearms entering the city from outside Illinois. The period was also marked by strained relations between residents and the Chicago Police Department, and families in hard-hit areas described living with constant fear and teaching children how to react during gunfire.

Does anyone have information about Skyes, where he lived, or what happened on February 20, 2016?
