Alfonzo Leflore, a 34-year-old African American man, was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting on June 16, 2019, in Chicago, IL. The incident occurred outside The New Dating Game nightclub in the Calumet Heights neighborhood. Leflore was standing on the sidewalk at approximately 2:39 a.m. when someone in a passing black Chevrolet Malibu opened fire. He was struck multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.
The nightclub issued a statement expressing condolences to Leflore's family and emphasizing that the shooting was a random act of violence that occurred outside their premises. Witnesses to the shooting have been uncooperative with investigators, and as a result, no arrests have been made.
In October 2019, Chicago police released surveillance images of two suspects believed to be involved in the shooting. One suspect is thought to have fired the gun, while the other is suspected of driving the getaway vehicle. Despite these efforts, the case remains unsolved, and the suspects have not been apprehended.
The investigation into Leflore's murder continues, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward. The lack of cooperation from witnesses has hindered progress, and the case remains a poignant reminder of the challenges faced in solving violent crimes in urban areas.
