Ignacio Soria, a 42-year-old Hispanic man from the Pilsen neighborhood, was shot and killed during a double shooting the early morning of August 29, 2021. The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. at an outdoor gathering in the 4800 block of South Justine Street in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. Soria suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and back and was taken to Saint Bernard Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A 26-year-old woman at the gathering sustained a graze wound to her leg and refused treatment.

Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed the circumstances, but no suspects were immediately arrested and the case remained unsolved for some time. The investigation sought public assistance as authorities pursued leads. If anyone was at the gathering or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help bring answers for Soria’s family.
