Selena Reyes-Hernandez was 37 when she was killed inside her basement apartment in the 3300 block of West 71st Street in Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood on May 31, 2020. Early that morning she met 18-year-old Orlando Perez, a high school senior, and they returned to her apartment. Reyes-Hernandez disclosed that she was transgender; Perez left, then came back armed. He shot her multiple times in the head and back and fled. He returned and fired additional shots into her body. Family members in the same building heard the disturbance, found her body and called police.

Investigators collected surveillance from about 25 neighborhood cameras that tracked Perez before and after the killing. A video on Reyes-Hernandez’s phone showed Perez washing his hands in her apartment before the shooting, and distinctive clothing seen on the footage helped identify him. A 9mm handgun and two magazines were recovered after his arrest, and he confessed during questioning.

Who knew Selena or was in the Marquette Park area that morning and can add details about her or the events leading up to that night?
