Ramone Ogburn, a 17-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on April 5, 2015, in Calumet City, Illinois. The incident occurred during a party in the 500 block of Yates Avenue.

He was transported to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 1:30 a.m. An autopsy confirmed that he died from multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Despite the severity of the crime, the investigation faced significant challenges. At the time of the incident, no suspects were identified, and no arrests were made.

The absence of new evidence or witnesses has kept the case cold, and it remains a painful reminder of the violence that claimed the life of a young teenager.
The tragic death of Ramone Ogburn highlights the broader issues of gun violence and the challenges faced by law enforcement in solving such cases. It underscores the need for community cooperation and effective investigative techniques to bring justice to victims and their families.
