Keenan Terrell Campbell, Black male, age 31, was inside a gas station in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood on the afternoon of June 28, 2025, when two people walked in and opened fire. Struck multiple times, the 31-year-old man was rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The Cook County medical examiner identified the victim as Keenan Terrell Campbell, 31, and police said the barrage of gunfire shattered glass that injured a 6-year-old boy nearby.
Two other men, ages 25 and 40, were also wounded, one shot in the leg and the other grazed in the head, and were reported in good condition. The shooting unfolded around 3:56 p.m. in the 800 block of East 63rd Street, an everyday stop suddenly turned into a scene of panic and sirens.
Witnesses described the assailants as two gunmen who entered the business and fired repeatedly before fleeing. Officers secured the gas station and surrounding block as medics treated the wounded, and the evening filled with the dull throb of squad lights and the careful, methodical steps of detectives canvassing for shell casings and camera footage. Amid the confusion, the name Keenan Terrell Campbell, 31, became the thread that tied together the chaos, officially entered into the record by the medical examiner and noted by reporters who stitched the first public account of the day.
By nightfall, the outline of events was firm even if the motive remained unknown: Keenan Terrell Campbell, 31, a man shot multiple times inside a neighborhood business; two other men hurt but stable; a child nicked by flying glass; and a pair of armed offenders who vanished back into the city. Police reported no arrests and said detectives were investigating, a familiar coda that left friends, family, and neighbors searching for answers in the stillness after the sirens faded.
As the hours turned into days, public summaries repeated the same stark facts: Keenan Terrell Campbell, 31, male, died from gunshot wounds sustained inside that Woodlawn gas station; the shooters were two individuals who entered, fired, and escaped; and as of the initial reports, no one was in custody. His name appeared on memorial and incident roundups that mark each life lost, the small digital candles and brief lines of text doing their best to hold space for a life cut short while the search for suspects continued.
