Marshawn D. Flemon, known as Lil Capo, was killed by gun violence on April 20, 2015, in Chicago, Illinois. He was 18 years old at the time and was shot on the South Side of Chicago. His death was one of many that year during a spike in violence across the city; Chicago recorded more than 468 homicides in 2015.

The account links Marshawn’s death to broader problems affecting Chicago neighborhoods, noting poverty, gang activity, and lack of resources for at-risk youth as part of the context in which he and many others were killed. The community responded with tributes and condolences on memorial sites, but many victims from 2015, including Marshawn, were described as left without justice or closure.

Does anyone have memories of Marshawn, or information about the shooting on April 20, 2015, that could help provide more detail?
