Linton M. Goldsmith, 33, was shot and killed on August 24, 2010, while driving his van on the South Side of Chicago. The shooting occurred in the early morning hours and Goldsmith suffered fatal gunshot wounds while still behind the wheel.

The killing came during a period of rising gun violence in Chicago, with many neighborhoods on the South Side confronting high homicide rates and persistent public-safety concerns. The case underlines the larger challenges facing those communities, including gang activity, strained relations with law enforcement, and limited resources for violence-prevention programs.

Anyone who knew Linton Goldsmith, saw his van that morning, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
