With great grief and heavy hearts, we recall Shawnquanice Kimbrough, a 34-year-old lady whose life was tragically ended in an irrational act of violence on Tuesday evening. Her death has created a terrible hole in the hearts of her family, friends, and the Little Italy neighborhood, where shock and sadness still permeate every area.
Shawnquanice was on her way to a medical appointment at UI Health, a commonplace occurrence in a normal day that ought to have been full of hope, plans, and the promise of tomorrow. Rather, on the third floor of a parking garage on the 1100 block of South Wood Street, at around 1:35 p.m., grief struck. Her life was abruptly cut short in an event meant for moving forward in a place intended for passing through, leaving many looking for answers and grappling to grasp the loss.
Those who knew Shawnquanice call her a kind, sympathetic, and tenacious lady with a calm spirit and a welcoming presence. Whether via a brief chat, a genuine laugh, or a considerate gesture, she had a knack of making people feel seen and appreciated. She moved with subdued power, and the depth of her character was mirrored in her will to look after others as well as herself.
More than a victim of a terrible accident, Shawnquanice was a friend, a daughter, a loved one, and a cherished member of her neighborhood. Her aspirations, dreams, and projects for the future were stolen much too early. Her life was punctuated by times of happiness, recollections of laughter, and ties that would always be kept in the hearts of those who knew her.
Shawnquanice's death is a sorrowful reminder of how fragile life is and how profoundly violence impacts not just individuals but whole communities. Her demise has rocked Little Italy, drawing neighbors, acquaintances, and strangers together in common sorrow and introspection. Moments like this remind us of the necessity of compassion, cooperation, and the need to fight against violence in all forms.
