Elvis Garcia, a 39-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot on January 5, 2020, in Chicago. The shooting took place about 3:45 p.m. after two gunmen drove up and opened fire on Garcia and two other men gathered in the street. Garcia, who held a concealed carry license, was struck at least twice but drew his weapon and returned fire, killing one attacker, 17-year-old Michael Portis.

Garcia was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition and later died. The remaining gunman, 20-year-old Marlow Rainey, was wounded, fled in an SUV, was later taken to Trinity Hospital by an unknown person, and was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Garcia’s death, felony murder in Portis’s death, and attempted first-degree murder for wounding another man. Prosecutors did not provide a motive and said investigators found no link between Garcia and the attackers. Nineteen 9-mm and ten .40-caliber shell casings were recovered at the scene.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the SUV leave or know who transported Rainey to the hospital?
