Lydia Jimenez was 17 when she was shot dead on April 15, 2021, while riding in the passenger seat of a car in Chicago’s Little Village. The attack happened about 7:45 p.m. in the 4100 block of West 25th Place when a man dressed in all black and wearing a mask leaned out of the passenger window of a vehicle just ahead and began firing at the car Lydia was in.

Lydia was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and underwent surgery but was pronounced dead later that night. The driver, a 20-year-old man, was not injured. Police recovered 12 shell casings at the scene, possibly from two different calibers, and preliminary reports suggested the shooting might have been gang-related because of the driver’s suspected affiliation. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in Little Village see the vehicles involved or have information about the shooting?
