Alexus Mercedes Pedraza, a 21-year-old woman from Chicago, was fatally shot on June 12, 2022, during an argument in the West Lawn neighborhood. She was out with friends near 64th Street and South Kilbourn Avenue when an unknown male approached and fired multiple shots, striking her in the forehead and body. Alexus was taken to a hospital and later died of her injuries.

Alexus had recently buried her mother less than a year earlier and left behind an 8-month-old daughter. Her family described her as a loving, dedicated mother and has been working with crisis responders while seeking justice. No arrests have been announced and no suspects are in custody; the Chicago Police Department’s investigation remains active. The family held visitation and interment services on June 23, 2022, at Perez Franco Funeral Home and St. Mary Catholic Cemetery.

Did anyone in the West Lawn area see or hear anything near 64th and Kilbourn on the evening of June 12, 2022 that could help investigators?
