Darius Ortiz was 20 when he was killed on August 13, 2018, in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood. He was walking to the store with his girlfriend and his 64-year-old grandmother when an unknown assailant exited a white SUV and opened fire, striking Ortiz in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His grandmother sustained a gunshot wound to her arm and was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital in critical condition.

Police indicated the shooting was likely gang-related, but no arrests were made immediately after the incident. The Chicago Police Department has continued the investigation and urged the community to come forward with information that could lead to an arrest.

Does anyone in Albany Park remember seeing a white SUV or other details from that August evening that could help investigators?
