Jose Casarrubias, a 17-year-old from Chicago, was fatally shot on June 23, 2022, in the Little Village neighborhood on the West Side. The shooting occurred about 1:45 a.m. while he was standing outside in the 2700 block of South Kedvale Avenue. A blue SUV pulled up, an unidentified person exited and opened fire, striking Jose multiple times. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police say the shooter returned to the SUV and fled; no suspects were in custody and no arrests have been announced. The case remains unsolved amid a reported scarcity of witnesses and the quick escape of the attacker. Jose’s death is described as part of ongoing gun violence affecting young people in the neighborhood, and his family and community continue to seek leads.

If anyone has information about that early morning shooting in the 2700 block of South Kedvale Avenue, please come forward.
