The community of Country Club Hills is in mourning following the tragic death of 14-year-old Marshawn Mitchell, who lost his life in a shooting incident in Illinois. The heart-wrenching incident has not only left a void in the hearts of his loved ones but has also led to the cancellation of the much-anticipated homecoming dance at Hill Crest High School’s District 228.
Marshawn Mitchell’s life was cut short in the south suburbs of Cook County on the night of Friday, September 15, 2023, in a horrifying event that transpired around 9 o’clock. The incident unfolded at Hill Crest High School, sending shockwaves through the community and prompting an immediate response from law enforcement agencies, including the Country Club Hills Police Department and the Hazel Crest Police Department.
Authorities received multiple distress calls reporting shots fired and a person shot at the location of Hill Crest High School, specifically on 174th and Pulaski, where Marshawn Mitchell tragically lost his life. Upon arrival, officials found Marshawn on the ground, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was swiftly transported to South Suburban Hospital, but despite the best efforts of medical personnel, Marshawn Mitchell was pronounced dead upon arrival.
While the incident unfolded after Hill Crest High School’s homecoming football game, details surrounding the tragedy remain limited, with law enforcement providing minimal information.
