Corvus "Chrono" Humphries, a 20-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on October 2, 2016, in Chicago, Illinois. Corvus was an artist and musician known for his warm, bubbly, and compassionate personality. On that fateful day, he was caught in a hail of gunfire outside the California Pink Line station on the city's West Side. According to the Cook County medical examiner’s office, Corvus was shot in the 2000 block of South California Avenue.
He was simply going about his daily routine, being dropped off at the station to head home from his job when the incident occurred.
