Jerry Montgomery, a 32-year-old man from Chicago, IL, was tragically shot and killed on May 16, 2020. Montgomery was walking down the sidewalk in the Austin neighborhood when he was struck in the chest by bullets fired by 25-year-old Jermy Terry, also known as "Tiga Sane," a local rapper. Terry claimed he fired his gun to scare fellow gang members who he believed were targeting him, but Montgomery was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.
Terry was arrested and charged with
first-degree murder. He was held without bail and faced court proceedings for the death of Montgomery. Video footage captured Terry at the scene, and his face was clearly visible as he ran with the gun through an alley. Montgomery was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital shortly after the shooting.
The case drew significant attention due to the circumstances surrounding Terry's actions and the fact that Montgomery was not involved in any gang activity. The incident highlighted the dangers of gun violence in Chicago and the impact it has on innocent lives.
