Francisco Frankie Zavala, 26, of Round Lake, Illinois, was found shot to death on March 3, 2022, in Pratt’s Wayne Woods Forest Preserve in DuPage County. He had been missing since January 29, 2022, when his mother dropped him off at a Metro by T-Mobile store in Round Lake; surveillance shows he later boarded a Metra train to Chicago intending to travel to Indiana to visit a woman. His family reported him missing on February 7 after losing contact.

Zavala’s body was discovered by someone at a nearby horse stable less than 30 feet from the side of the road, with fresh tire tracks nearby. An autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds; prosecutors later said he was shot 11 times and described the killing as a brutal gang execution. Authorities reported Zavala had suspected gang affiliations and tracked his cell phone to several towns the day he disappeared. Francisco Maldonado, 31, of Round Lake Beach, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; a pickup truck linked to the killing was seized during a McHenry search that also turned up drugs and firearms. Luis E. Rangel, 28, of McHenry, was arrested on drug and firearm charges from that search but was not charged with the murder.

Are there witnesses or local surveillance images from late January or early February that could fill gaps about Zavala’s movements?
