Keno Glass, aged 16, was fatally shot on April 15, 2014, in Chicago, Illinois. The shooting took place in the Rogers Park neighborhood, near the Chicago-Evanston border. Glass was walking on a sidewalk at around 2:40 a.m. when a gray minivan pulled up, and someone inside opened fire. He was struck in the head and later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Glass was an aspiring rapper who went by the moniker "Kay Pee Lashore," and his death was a tragic loss to his community, highlighting the ongoing issue of youth violence in Chicago. Police later questioned two individuals in connection with the shooting, but the case remains emblematic of the challenges Chicago faced with gang violence and gun crime during that period. The incident occurred just blocks away from another recent shooting, contributing to the neighborhood’s ongoing struggles with public safety.
