On March 13, 2009, 14-year-old Gregory Robinson was shot and killed in Chicago's South Side while heroically attempting to protect two younger children—a 10-month-old and a 4-year-old—from gunfire. Gregory, a student at Simeon Career Academy, was returning from a high school basketball game when he was caught in the crossfire of a shooting. Despite his courageous actions, he was tragically struck by the bullets. His death was one of many that year involving Chicago Public School students, highlighting the pervasive violence affecting the city’s youth. His case remains unsolved.
