Lena Marie Nunez-Anaya was 10 when she was killed on June 27, 2020, in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. She was inside her grandmother’s apartment watching television with her brother when a stray bullet fired from outside came through a window and struck her in the head. Lena was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital shortly after the shooting.

The community held a vigil outside the Logan Square apartment, with several hundred people attending to leave candles and flowers. Local leaders including 26th Ward Committeewoman Angee Gonzalez Rodriguez, community pastors, and advocates such as Robert Torres of Parents for Peace and Justice spoke out, calling for an end to violence; Alderman Gilbert Villegas urged protections for witnesses.

No arrests or suspects have been identified and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information about the shooting or the circumstances around that night, please come forward to help Lena’s family seek justice.
