Devel Syomon Jones, 34, was killed in a daylight shooting on May 9, 2022, in Chicago’s Humboldt Park. Jones and a friend, 35-year-old Antwon Gee, were near the street in the 1300 block of East Luis Muñoz Marín Drive when two gunmen approached and opened fire. Jones was struck in the chest and head; Gee was shot in the chest. Both were pronounced dead at the scene by the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The shooting occurred about 3 p.m. near the park’s tennis courts while children were playing nearby. Witnesses described chaotic, anguished scenes as family members reacted at the scene. Police took a person into custody immediately and recovered two weapons; investigators later released photos of three men wanted in connection to the attack.

In December 2023 Ronnie Henderson, 27, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the killings. The deaths underscored ongoing concerns about gun violence in Humboldt Park and the broader community.

Did anyone in Humboldt Park that day see something that could help explain what happened?
