Michael Colon, a 16-year-old Hispanic boy, was shot and killed on September 3, 2020, while walking his dog near his home in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago. He was entering his junior year at Thomas Kelly High School and was found shot multiple times in the 3200 block of West 38th Place; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Michael was known in his community for his love of football and his dog, Bobi.

The family released surveillance video that reportedly shows a white truck turning a corner, two men exiting the vehicle, and opening fire on Michael. Despite ongoing investigation, multiple press conferences and vigils by the family, and a reward offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, no arrests have been announced. The family has urged city officials to prioritize the case and expressed frustration over the lack of progress and the wider problem of gun violence in Chicago.

Does anyone in Brighton Park or nearby neighborhoods remember seeing a white truck in the area that afternoon or have information that could help bring the shooters to justice?
