Huberto Rosales, a 37-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on July 24, 2022, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. Around 3:30 a.m. Rosales stepped in during an argument between a man and a 25-year-old woman. The man produced a gun and shot Rosales in the head; Rosales was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was also struck, sustaining a gunshot wound to her armpit and later stabilized at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

Investigators later identified 28-year-old Jorge Espana as the shooter. Prosecutors charged Espana with murder and aggravated battery, saying he had been drinking and using drugs that night, including a mushroom pill and a cannabis-infused chocolate bar, at a party at his home. Defense counsel described the shooting as accidental and said Espana was hurt during the confrontation; prosecutors argued the act was deliberate. Espana had a prior guilty plea to a felony count of obstruction of justice.

Rosales was celebrating his birthday that day; family and friends described him as a devoted husband and father. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Huberto Rosales?
