Federico Bautista, 60, was shot and killed on the morning of November 18, 2021, while driving to work on the Stevenson Expressway in Chicago. At about 4:19 a.m., another vehicle pulled alongside his car and a passenger opened fire. Federico suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including two to the abdomen and one to the shoulder, and his car stopped on the expressway shoulder. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police traced the attack to a stolen Jeep and arrested two suspects. Prosecutors identified 19-year-old Joshua Concepcion as the shooter and said he fired 14 rounds from the back seat. The driver was identified as 17-year-old Alexis Perez, who allegedly followed Federico onto the expressway and positioned the Jeep so Concepcion could shoot. Investigators cited DNA inside the stolen Jeep, gunshot residue, and cellphone location records placing the pair near the scene. Both were charged with first-degree murder.

Federico is survived by his wife Flora, children Darcy, Adriana, and Eduardo, and his parents Federico and Maria Bautista. Does anyone have information about Federico’s morning routine or who might have seen him on the Stevenson Expressway that day?
