Miguel Padilla, a 41-year-old Hispanic man from Chicago, was shot and killed on October 21, 2021. He was standing in front of his car in the 2300 block of North Keystone Avenue at about 1 a.m. when an assailant approached and shot him in the chest. Padilla was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital but died of his wounds. The shooter then fled in Padilla’s 2016 brown Buick Encore.

Investigators linked this shooting to an earlier killing the same night: a 25-year-old man fatally shot at a Logan Square bus stop after an argument. The suspect was later located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where a confrontation with police left a K9 officer shot and the suspect wounded and taken into custody. The suspect’s identity and formal charges were not immediately disclosed.

Padilla was born with cerebral palsy, graduated college, worked as an IT analyst, and enjoyed bowling with his parents; friends and family remember him as resilient and kind. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or recall seeing the brown Buick Encore in the Hermosa area?
