Cherlyn Wendy Malvaiz, a 19-year-old woman from Chicago, was found dead in the driver’s seat of her car with a gunshot wound to the head on November 22, 2022. The discovery was made about 10:15 p.m. in the 3700 block of West Eddy Street in the Avondale neighborhood. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed her identity.

The Chicago Police Department is treating the case as a homicide. Area Five detectives processed the scene, which was cordoned off, and continue to investigate. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. Cherlyn’s family — parents Gustavo and Maria and siblings Miley and Austin Gustavo — have held a funeral and burial at Mount Olive Cemetery.

What information about Cherlyn, her movements that evening, or anyone seen in the area might help advance this investigation?
