Giovanni J. Lozano, a 24-year-old Hispanic man, was shot to death on December 25, 2021, in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. Police found him unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head in the 3000 block of North Avers Avenue around 10:40 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Giovanni had been on his way to his grandmother’s house in West Humboldt Park for a Christmas celebration and lived a few blocks from where the shooting occurred.

Cook County prosecutors say surveillance video shows a group at a home on the 3000 block of North Avers Avenue the night of the shooting. Just after 10:30 p.m. Giovanni’s black SUV drove past, and prosecutors allege 22-year-old Santi Castaneda raised his arm and fired toward the vehicle. Giovanni was struck in the back of the head and in the knee, and his vehicle crashed nearby. The shooting was captured on video, and an acquaintance later identified Castaneda in still photos. Castaneda was arrested in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and charged with one count of first-degree murder; a judge ordered him held without bail and further court appearances were scheduled.

Does anyone who knew Giovanni or was in that area the night of December 25 have information that could help?
