Black/African American male Jeremy Alexander Tang, age 20, was shot on the evening of September 3, 2017, in Chicago's Washington Heights neighborhood, and later died from his wounds.
Around 8:40 p.m., police found the 20-year-old in the driver's seat of a vehicle in the 800 block of West 102nd Street with a gunshot wound to the chest.
He was rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead that night.
The killing unfolded during the Labor Day weekend, a stretch already strained by gunfire across the city and tallied in contemporaneous crime reports.
Before his life was cut short, the 20-year-old had been a former Julian High School football player and an honor roll student at Miles College in Alabama.
Family members said he had taken a semester off and was working two jobs while trying to arrange his return to school, a portrait of momentum and responsibility that deepened the loss felt by those who knew him. Community remembrances and memorial pages later gathered photographs, tributes, and small details, his love for sports and work ethic, that anchored his name beyond a police log.
Authorities announced no arrests at the time, and over the years the case remained unsolved.
His mother joined other families pressing for answers, pointing to evidence processing and investigative hurdles that kept them waiting; coverage in 2019 noted that even as forensic testing was undertaken, no suspect had been publicly identified.
Advocacy posts and news updates since then have continued to state that investigators have not announced any arrests, and that the person or people responsible for the 20-year-old's killing have not been named by police.
