Jeremy Brooks was 17 when he was shot and killed on September 2, 2010, in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood. He was walking on the sidewalk when he was fatally shot. Reports suggested the shooting may have been gang-related, but no suspects were publicly identified after the incident.

Brooks’ death came amid an especially deadly year for young people in Chicago and reflects the broader problem of gun violence affecting communities dealing with poverty, limited social supports, and gang activity. Many shootings in these neighborhoods remain unsolved, sometimes because witnesses do not come forward.

Did anyone in Greater Grand Crossing at the time see or hear anything about what happened to Jeremy?
