Hermilo Beltran, 47, was shot and killed on March 27, 2022, in an alley in the 3400-block of North Clark Street near Wrigley Field in Chicago. He was on his way to a second job as a custodian at Happy Camper Pizza when he suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and armpit and was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say the killing has been tied to a robbery; Beltran’s cell phone was reportedly found at the scene while his wallet was missing. Surveillance captured a silver Mercedes leaving the area shortly after the shooting, and Chicago police released video of two suspects. Despite numerous cameras and private security in the neighborhood, no arrests have been announced and the suspects remain at large.

The slaying raised safety concerns in Wrigleyville, with local business owners noting a reduced police presence in the 19th District and Alderman Tom Tunney calling for more resources. Beltran’s widow described him as a hardworking father of two daughters whose death has left the family devastated.

If anyone has information about the shooting or recognizes the vehicle or the men seen in the released footage, please share tips with Chicago police.
