A note from the Curator:

The coroner's report lists the location as 4700 block of South Calhoun. Due to the ambiguity of not having an exact street address, and the fact that Calhoun Street is the division between East and West, further research was needed as to tell if this location is SW or SE. Using photos from media outlets and from JAVA's Ms Davis, I was able to determine that the homicide occurred on the West side of Calhoun, which would place it in the SW and would be in City Council district 5.
