Sergio Sanchez was 23 when he was fatally shot on January 16, 2020, in Little Village on Chicago’s Southwest Side. He was walking with a 22-year-old woman in the 3200 block of West 24th Street when two masked gunmen approached from behind and opened fire as the pair turned around. Sergio was struck in the chest and leg and later pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital; the woman was shot in the hip and leg and was stabilized.

Witnesses reported the shooters fled south on Sawyer Avenue after the attack. Area Central detectives and the Chicago Police Department continue to investigate, and no arrests have been announced. Sergio’s family and community members have expressed grief and are calling for justice.
