Renee Castillo, a 31-year-old Hispanic man from Chicago, was shot multiple times and found dead about half a mile from his home in the early morning hours of November 6, 2021. His family says he was not involved in gang activity and that he lived with serious health problems, including inoperable skin cancer on his spine that caused severe back pain. Family members Leo Castillo and Sylvia Montigo have described their confusion and grief over why he would be targeted.

Police have not announced any arrests, and no clear motive or suspects have been identified in the case. The killing is being discussed alongside the wider problem of gun violence in Cook County during 2021. If anyone knew Renee, saw activity near his home that morning, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
