Ambriana Collins, a 24-year-old African American woman, was tragically shot to death on January 25, 2019, in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago, IL. The incident occurred around 2:35 a.m. in an alley located in the 10700 block of South Eberhart Avenue. Responding officers found Ambriana Collins with multiple gunshot wounds to her chest. Despite their efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Cook County medical examiner's office later confirmed that her death was a homicide caused by these gunshot wounds.
Ambriana Collins was a hardworking mother who left behind a 4-year-old son named Angelo. Her relatives described her as a dedicated parent who worked at both a Popeyes restaurant and a McDonald's location. The family was already dealing with the recent loss of Angelo's father, who had died from cancer just a few months prior. Ambriana's death left her family and community in shock and mourning, as she was remembered fondly by many who knew her.
The investigation into Ambriana Collins' murder revealed that a white SUV was seen speeding away from the scene shortly after the shooting. Despite this lead, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains under investigation by Area South detectives, who continue to seek information that could lead to the apprehension of those responsible for this senseless act of violence. The lack of progress in the case has been a source of frustration and sorrow for Ambriana's family, who are desperate for justice and closure.
