Angel Figueroa, a 38-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on August 6, 2021, in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago. He was riding in the passenger seat of a van driven by his girlfriend, with his young daughter also in the vehicle, when a Hyundai Santa Fe began following them. The Santa Fe pulled alongside the van and the driver, wearing a reflective green vest, fired a single shot that struck Angel in the face. He was taken to Humboldt Park Health Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigators identified and arrested 25-year-old Justin Cortes in connection with the killing. Detectives say surveillance footage showed the Hyundai at a nearby store minutes before the shooting and captured Cortes making a purchase; cellphone location data reportedly pinged near the scene at the time of the shooting. Police body-camera video also captured Cortes following the Santa Fe after a crash two days later. Cortes was charged with murder and held without bail.

Does anyone who knew Angel or who was in Humboldt Park that day have information that could help complete the timeline?
