Country Club Hills police said their investigation into the shooting death of 14-year-old Marshawn Mitchell after leaving a homecoming football game has been hampered by uncooperative witnesses.
Mitchell's mother, Amanda Lenore, pleaded for the public's help finding her son's killer Wednesday afternoon.
Mitchell was shot multiple times and rushed to the hospital in critical condition where he later died. "At this point, we are hoping to reach out to the public as we need positive identification on these subjects. We've been met with some resistance on some witnesses who are reluctant to cooperate with us," said Chief John Galvin.
Mitchell was a freshman at Hillcrest High School and his family said he was a gifted football player who had dreams of playing in the NFL.
