Ujuan Drape, a 13-year-old boy from Chicago, Illinois, was tragically killed on September 30, 2018. Ujuan was walking on the sidewalk in the Austin neighborhood when a green SUV pulled up next to him. Someone inside the vehicle opened fire, striking Ujuan in the chest and shoulder. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Ujuan was described as a funny, goofy, and cute boy who loved all of his cousins.
He had a signature look that included a pair of white Nikes, blue jeans, a belt with an animal buckle, and a white shirt with a tiger and the word "Elite" on it. His mother honored his memory by wearing his outfit on Halloween.
The investigation into Ujuan's death was conducted by Area North detectives. However, no one was in custody, and there were no immediate arrests or suspects identified in connection with the shooting. The case remains unsolved, and the community continues to seek justice for Ujuan.
