He was taken to Ascension St. Francis Hospital in Evanston and pronounced dead.

The shooting devastated his family, friends, and the academic community that had anticipated his work. His mother, Tonya Colombo, and his fiancé, Vicente Colores-Chalmers, were active in speaking about his loss and supporting gun safety causes.
