Leroy Stinson, 50, was fatally shot in Chicago on November 26, 2014. His death occurred amid a year of intense gun violence across the city, when Chicago recorded over 400 homicides. The case sits against a backdrop of broader problems described for 2014, including gang violence, poverty, and widespread availability of firearms that contributed to elevated levels of violent crime in many neighborhoods.

Officials collected data on each incident that year, and homicide maps and datasets from 2014 show how violent incidents were distributed across the city and which communities were most affected. Stinson’s death is one of many that highlighted the urgent need for efforts to reduce violence and bolster supports in marginalized neighborhoods.
