Lee Richardson Jr., a 31-year-old African American man, was shot to death during a home robbery in Chicago on December 5, 2005. He and his father, Lee Richardson Sr., were confronted by three assailants; the robbery escalated and Richardson Jr. was fatally shot while his father survived.

One of the attackers was identified as 34-year-old Ishmael Clark. The assailants fled but were later stopped after a high-speed chase that ended with Clark injuring a Chicago police officer and attempting to run down two others. At trial Clark was convicted of the murder of Lee Richardson Jr. and the attempted murder of three police officers; Cook County Judge Joseph Kazmierski sentenced him to 180 years in prison. Testimony from previous victims of Clark’s violent robberies was presented at trial.

Anyone who knew Lee Richardson Jr., the family, or who has information about the events of December 5, 2005 is asked to share what they remember.
