Sergio Hernandez was 20 when he was shot at a Halloween party on East Jackson Street in Joliet Township on October 31, 2021. The party swelled to more than 200 people and became the scene of a mass shooting. Hernandez, identified in reports as a member of the Latin Kings, was targeted by rival Vice Lord members and suffered multiple gunshot wounds that left him paralyzed and dependent on a ventilator.

Hernandez survived the initial attack but died of his injuries on October 30, 2022, nearly a year after the shooting. Two other victims, 22-year-olds Holly Mathews and Jonathan Ceballos, were killed at the scene; ten people were injured in total. After Hernandez’s death, prosecutors added first-degree murder counts in his death to charges already filed against Joskar Ramos and brothers Thomas and Jeremy Lopez in connection with the Halloween shooting.

Hernandez had a prior arrest in February 2021 for a drive-by shooting and was out on bond at the time of the party. Who has information about events that night or the people involved?
