On a Wednesday morning in early September, a 33-year-old Chicago father named Travell Miller was driving his daughter to school when a stranger approached his car and opened fire. In his final moments, Miller bent his body over his child, absorbing four bullets so that she would not have to. He died at the hospital, leaving behind two daughters and a city forced once again to reckon with the cost of ordinary life interrupted by extraordinary violence.

Increased perception of safety risks in Chicago neighborhoods may reduce consumer spending, deter business activity, increase insurance premiums, and discourage families from residing in or visiting affected areas, reducing local economic activity.
