Nathan Billegas was 14 when he was fatally shot on December 16, 2022, outside Benito Juarez Community Academy in Chicago. The shooting happened as classes were being dismissed in the 2100 block of South Laflin Street. Nathan and 15-year-old Brandon Perez were killed instantly; two other 15-year-old students, a boy and a girl, were wounded.

Police identified 16-year-old Christian Acevedo, a former Benito Juarez student who had been expelled, as the shooter. Investigators say Acevedo approached a group of students, a brief confrontation followed, and he opened fire. Witnesses described the attack as gang-related and said Acevedo targeted rival gang members. Surveillance footage and witness statements were used to identify him, and officers recovered multiple firearms from his possession, including handguns with extended magazines and modifications.

Who knew Nathan or was at Benito Juarez that afternoon and can shed light on what happened?
