Three-year-old Mateo Zastro was shot and killed while riding in the back seat of his mother’s SUV on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The attack occurred just after 8:38 p.m. on Friday, September 30, 2022, near Marquette Road and Kostner Avenue when a red car pulled alongside and a man in its back seat opened fire, striking Mateo in the head. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead in the early hours of October 1, 2022.

Up to six rounds were fired into the family’s vehicle; Mateo’s three siblings were not physically injured but witnessed the shooting. Investigators initially described the incident as stemming from a road‑rage encounter that began on Cicero Avenue, and court filings say the family was ambushed after the mother realized she was being followed and circled the block. In July 2024 Chicago police charged Govanni Hernandez, 32, of Berwyn, with first‑degree murder, attempted first‑degree murder, and murder with a strong probability of death or injury; prosecutors said DNA evidence linked him to the red car.

Did anyone in the area around Cicero, Marquette or Kostner that night see a red car or remember anything about this confrontation?
