Juan Antonio Gonzalez-Ramirez, a 30-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on June 5, 2022, in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. The shooting happened during a fight among a group of men on the 3900 block of West 26th Street; Gonzalez-Ramirez was struck in the lower chest and later pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital. A 20-year-old man was also shot twice in the right leg and survived.

Brandon Loza Estrada, 29, of the West Lawn neighborhood, was arrested and charged with the murder of Gonzalez-Ramirez and with Aggravated Battery/Discharge Firearm for wounding the other man. The altercation reportedly occurred shortly after a soccer match between Mexico and Ecuador at Soldier Field, and some bystanders were wearing soccer jerseys, though it is unclear whether the game played any role in the fight. Detectives with the Chicago Police Department investigated the incident; Estrada was being held in custody and expected to appear in bond court.

If anyone witnessed the fight on West 26th Street or has information about what led to the shooting, please come forward.
