These stories on homicide victims and their families are part of a week-long series about homicides in Chicago. ChicagoTalks, a news outlet operated by Columbia College’s Journalism Department, undertook a semester-long investigation of the topic funded with a grant from The Chicago Community Trust.
The series of stories about families that have been the victims of homicide are online now.. If you have questions or comments, please e-mail project editor Suzanne McBride at smcbride@colum.edu.
