Gloria Hentz, 49, of Galena, Illinois, was shot and killed while visiting family in Chicago’s Cottage Grove neighborhood on June 22, 2019. She was standing on her sister’s front porch around 2 a.m. at 97th Street and Dobson Avenue when a single bullet struck her temple and she fell to the ground. Family members at first thought she had passed out after a recent heart attack but then realized the sound they heard was a gunshot.

She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she later died. The Cook County medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. Area South detectives canvassed the neighborhood and searched for evidence, but no shell casing was recovered, there were no witnesses, and no arrests have been announced. Gloria’s sister, Tesha Hentz, said she believed the shot came from across the street; investigators have not identified a clear motive and the family says no one in the quiet block knew Gloria or her children.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood in June 2019 remember hearing or seeing anything that could help this investigation?
