CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Chicago police are asking for the public’s help in solving the slaying of a 14-year-old boy, who was shot to death a year ago on the Near West Side.

On Jan. 12, 2022, Javion Ivy was two blocks from Robert Nathaniel Dett Elementary School and Chicago Bulls College Prep in the 2200 block of West Adams Street when someone shot him twice in the chest just before 4 p.m., police said.

He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
