DeLance Wilson, a 32-year-old African American male, was tragically killed on April 25, 2022, in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL. The incident occurred around 11:50 a.m. when two gunmen exited a dark-colored sedan and opened fire on Wilson in the 3700 block of West Chicago Avenue. Wilson was struck multiple times and was subsequently transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
This shooting was one of two fatal incidents that occurred within a 20-minute span on the West Side of Chicago that day.
Following the investigation, Stevion Davis, a 22-year-old male, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of DeLance Wilson.
