Dominique Hogan, 34, male, Black/African American, was found shot to death in a Woodlawn alley on Chicago’s South Side in the early hours of Sunday, August 10, 2025. According to police, an unknown person approached Dominique Hogan and fired multiple times around 5:20 a.m. in the 6600 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, where he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The quiet of the morning gave way to flashing lights and taped-off pavement as investigators documented shell casings and canvassed an alley that cuts behind storefronts and apartment buildings, a narrow corridor where footsteps and voices carry.
In the days that followed, memorial posts and listings marked the loss of Dominique Hogan, 34, noting the date and city and pointing back to the brief police account of the attack. Community-focused outlets and victim registries carried his name and age, preserving the stark details that framed his final moments and the location where he fell. These notices echoed what police initially shared: no witnesses publicly identified a shooter, and no link to a broader incident was released.
Authorities reported no arrests the day of the killing, and subsequent roundups of weekend violence reiterated that there was no one in custody in the death of Dominique Hogan. As summer thinned and the city’s homicide logs accumulated new names and places, the case remained open, its essential facts unchanged—an ambush in an alley, a precise time and block, and the absence of a named suspect.
