An incident in Chicago, Illinois on August 11, 2023, resulted in the death of 36-year-old Louis C. Gordon-Hay. Two on-duty police officers witnessed a confrontation between two individuals near 1100 W. 111th Street. The officers noticed Gordon-Hay with a gun in his back pocket and attempted to engage with him. However, Gordon-Hay fled and the officers pursued him into a residence.
