Diomar Rangel, 22, of Cicero, Illinois, was fatally shot during a domestic disturbance on October 25, 2018. The shooting occurred about 10:20 a.m. in the 1400 block of Cicero Avenue; Rangel was shot six times in the chest and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died about an hour later.

Authorities say Israel Villegas, 30, a known gang member and convicted felon, was identified by witnesses as the shooter. Villegas was found trying to hide a semi-automatic gun and a large amount of cannabis in a neighboring yard and was apprehended shortly after the shooting. He was charged with first-degree murder, had bond revoked and was held without bail at Cook County Jail. The investigation described the incident as stemming from a domestic-related argument; Villegas is linked to the 4th Generation Messiah Street Gang and reportedly had multiple prior weapons convictions.

Did anyone in Cicero have information about Rangel’s movements or the argument that morning?
