Robert W. “Wes” Wheeler Jr., special agent in charge of the Chicago Division of the FBI, announced on March 12 the creation of a digital media tip line related to the death of 14-year-old Marshawn Mitchell. The FBI and the Country Club Hills Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individual(s) responsible for this 2023 incident.
On September 15, 2023, freshman Mitchell was shot and killed following the dismissal of the homecoming football game at Hillcrest High School in Country Club Hills, Illinois. Mitchell was the sole victim of one or more shots fired into a crowd of juveniles exiting the grounds in the area of the southwest parking lot exit. Law enforcement believes that Mitchell may not have been the intended target.
