Nestor Herrera was a 27-year-old Hispanic man from Aurora, Illinois who was killed on May 9, 2019. His body was found in a residential area with multiple gunshot wounds; investigators determined his death to be a homicide. Witnesses reported a confrontation involving Herrera and several individuals shortly before the shooting, and people were seen fleeing after gunshots were heard.

Police identified and arrested several suspects. One 25-year-old Hispanic male was charged with first-degree murder and other offenses. At trial prosecutors presented eyewitness testimony and forensic analysis, including testimony that ballistic evidence matched a weapon found in the defendant’s possession; the jury convicted him of first-degree murder and he received a lengthy prison sentence. Herrera’s family and the community were left mourning and called for efforts to reduce violence.

If anyone knew Nestor or witnessed the events that night, what information can be shared to help complete the picture?
