Jose L. Calderon was 21 and from Chicago Heights, Illinois when he was found shot inside a vehicle on the morning of May 29, 2017, Memorial Day. Police treated the scene as a homicide; Calderon had been shot multiple times and did not survive.

No arrests were made at the time and detectives worked the case as an open homicide. Investigators considered several suspects but never developed concrete evidence tying anyone directly to the shooting. The absence of eyewitnesses and a clear motive complicated the inquiry.

The Chicago Heights Police Department continued to review evidence and re-interview potential witnesses in the years after the slaying, but the case remained unsolved. If anyone knew Jose, saw something that morning, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
