On December 17, 2020, at about 12:50 p.m., 19-year-old Carlos Cruz was walking his dog in the 4000 block of West Wilson Avenue in Chicago’s Mayfair neighborhood when an assailant in a stolen white Nissan Maxima opened fire. Cruz was struck several times and taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. He lived in the neighborhood where the shooting occurred.

The stolen Nissan was found several blocks away in the 4400 block of North LaCrosse Avenue, and authorities apprehended a person of interest in the 4300 block of North Major Avenue.

Did anyone in Mayfair see the Maxima or the shooting that afternoon, or have information about movements around West Wilson Avenue that day?
