Joaquin Clara, a 51-year-old Hispanic man who was homeless, was found dead on August 23, 2017, in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago. He was discovered around 9 p.m. in the 5900 block of West Fullerton Avenue. The Cook County medical examiner determined Clara died from blunt-force injuries to the head; the autopsy described the injuries as severe and his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators say surveillance footage showed two men walking on Fullerton Avenue, one carrying a baseball bat and the other carrying what appeared to be bricks or rocks. Authorities arrested two suspects: 31-year-old Rogelio Arroyo of the Galewood neighborhood and 46-year-old Thomas Ocasio of West Elsdon. Prosecutors have alleged Arroyo acted as a lookout while Ocasio carried out the fatal beating; witnesses identified Ocasio and recognized Arroyo when he returned to the scene. Both men were charged with first-degree murder and held without bail (Arroyo’s bond set at $1 million, Ocasio denied bond). The motive has not been disclosed.

Did anyone in Belmont Cragin see activity on Fullerton Avenue that night or have information about these men in the hours before the attack?
