Meagan M. Bilbo was 19 and from Chicago when she was shot and killed on December 5, 2021. The shooting happened about 4:30 a.m. as she and her 22-year-old boyfriend were exiting a back door of an illegal nightclub in Jefferson Park that was operating as a computer repair shop in the 4800 block of North Central Avenue. A masked shooter opened fire outside the venue. Her boyfriend was shot in the abdomen and a 23-year-old man was wounded in the abdomen and leg; both men survived with critical injuries.

Authorities arrested 27-year-old Rusten Relucio on murder and aggravated battery charges. Prosecutors tied Relucio to the scene with surveillance video and cell phone records, noting distinctive clothing, a skull tattoo on his left hand with several missing fingers, and sightings of a Dodge Durango near the club and at a nearby gas station shortly before the shooting. A judge denied bail after a defense attorney emphasized Relucio had no prior violent criminal history. The motive remains unclear and court proceedings are ongoing.
