Luis Rodriguez was 17 when he was shot dead on March 29, 2019, in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene after being caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout while walking home from school. Police reports describe him as an unintended victim; the shooters were targeting rival gang members and fled immediately.

Investigators continued to pursue leads in the months after the killing, but no arrests were made and no suspects have been formally charged. The investigation has been hampered by a lack of witnesses willing to come forward because of fear of retaliation. Luis’s family and community activists have called for greater protection and resources in areas affected by gang violence.

If anyone knew Luis, saw the shooting, or has information that could help the detectives, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
