On March 24, 2008, 70-year-old Maggie Browder of Chicago was killed in her West Pullman home when a bullet entered through a front window just after 6 a.m. She had been peeking through the living-room blinds after hearing the doorbell; two shots were heard and her daughter found her on the floor. Browder was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where she died.

Authorities said the shooting was likely gang-related and that Browder was probably not the intended target; investigators reported the doorbell may have been rung to lure someone to the door. Known in the neighborhood as Mama Browder for looking out for local children, she leaves a community that rallied with family and clergy demanding answers. Police were still gathering information and searching for suspects, with no arrests announced.

Did anyone in West Pullman know more about that morning or see anything suspicious near her home?
