Black / African American male Malik Adams, 26, was walking just before 10 p.m. on June 5, 2022, along the 100 block of North Kenton Avenue in Chicago's West Garfield Park when a group of people stepped from a vehicle and opened fire.
He was struck multiple times, suffering eleven gunshot wounds to the torso, rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, and pronounced dead there, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner.
The assailants returned to their car, described as a black sedan, and sped away into the West Side night, leaving a residential block rattled and quiet.
Initial reporting identified the victim by name and age and pinned the scene with precision: the block, the time, the sudden burst of gunfire. Public incident records and memorial listings mark the date and location, preserving the circumstances of the attack among that weekend's toll.
No arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath. Police described only a group of offenders who exited a car before the shooting; no suspect names or detailed descriptions were released, and the black sedan was last seen fleeing from North Kenton. The case remained under investigation as those first reports closed.
