Julian Castillo, a 16-year-old Hispanic male, was shot and killed on February 26, 2021, in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. He had been visiting a friend at an apartment in the 6300 block of South Richmond Street when an argument with two individuals escalated. Julian ran out of the apartment and down the street; the two chased him and he was shot multiple times. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Two men, Jesus Moro, 21, and Sergio Rodriguez, 20, were arrested nearby within minutes and charged with first-degree murder; Rodriguez was also charged with unlawful use of a weapon. Reports describe both as reputed Latin Kings members and say the incident was gang-related; Julian was identified as a member of the rival Two-Six gang. The confrontation reportedly began after Rodriguez recognized the hairstyle of another Two-Six member who was getting a haircut from Julian, then chased that man downstairs, questioned Julian about his affiliation and punched him before Julian fled and Moro opened fire.

Does anyone have information about Julian, the apartment on South Richmond Street, or the events that night?
