Guillermo Antonio Quiles, a 53-year-old Hispanic man, was shot in the head and killed on February 9, 2021, while walking in the 700 block of North Trumbull Avenue in Chicago. The shooting occurred during a violent crime spree carried out by members of the Beam Team gang who were driving through rival territory.

Authorities say the spree began with a robbery at a Dunkin’ Donuts, included the fatal shooting of Quiles, and continued with additional robberies and carjackings. Investigators identified suspects including 16-year-old Ricmeal King Bolden and 18-year-old Taevon Abston. Bolden was charged as an adult; both men were held without bail. Prosecutors presented surveillance footage, witness statements, shell casings matching the weapon, and tracking data from a health app on Bolden’s phone placing him at the scene.

Quiles’ death is a reminder of the toll of gang violence on bystanders and neighborhoods. If anyone has information about the events of February 9, 2021, please come forward.
