Reward For Information in Shooting Death of Evanston Model

A clergy leader on the west side of Chicago is leading the effort for a $5,000 reward for information regarding the shooting death of 20-year-old Kaylyn Pryor, a model from Evanston who was killed while visiting her grandparents in Englewood on Monday.

The Chicago Tribune reports police have called Pryor an “unintended target” of the shooting that also left a 15-year-old boy injured.

“We must not forget Kaylyn’s tragedy in the midst of this violent week in Chicago,” said the Rev. Marshall Hatch, of New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, chairman of the Leaders Network. “Our goal must be solving every murder in every neighborhood, and we must combat violence by convicting every killer.”

Pryor was an alum of Evanston Township High School, where she had been a cheerleader and member of the soccer and track teams, her father, Alan “Nick” Scott told the Tribune. Before her death, she had been attending Robert Morris University to get a degree as a paralegal and had recently won a modeling contest and signed a contract with Factor Women, a professional modeling agency.
