Hadiya Pendleton was killed on Jan. 29, 2013 while standing with a group of friends at Harsh Park in Chicago’s Kenwood neighborhood. Her death, which took place just nine days after she performed at events during former President Barack Obama’s second inauguration, shocked the nation.
Then-first lady Michelle Obama attended Pendleton’s Chicago funeral, and the former president mentioned her death at his State of the Union address that year, with her parents in attendance.
In 2018, Williams was found guilty of first-degree murder in connection with the case. Michael Ward, who was 18 at the time of the shooting, was found guilty the next day. He was sentenced to 84 years in prison.
