Nino Penaloza was 24 when he was shot and killed on the night of June 19, 2018, in the 5000 block of South Wood on Chicago’s South Side Englewood. While walking, a masked person approached him from behind and fired multiple shots, hitting him in the upper body. Penaloza was pronounced dead at the scene by authorities, and the death was classified as a homicide.

Area Central detectives took over the investigation but struggled with few witnesses and the assailant’s masked appearance. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open as detectives follow up on leads. Little is publicly known beyond the basic circumstances of the killing.

Did anyone in Englewood see or hear something the night of June 19, 2018, that could help solve this case?
