Daniel Cardova, 26, of Chicago was fatally shot on May 7, 2017, in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side. Police were called for shots fired about 4:30 a.m. in the 2500 block of West 46th Place and found Cardova unresponsive on the ground between two parked cars with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The killing was described as gang-related and witnesses reported the assailants used an assault rifle.

Later that day a memorial at the scene was attacked when two masked individuals emerged from an alley and opened fire with rifles, wounding ten people and killing two—reported to be a man and his sister. The shooters fled in a light-colored van or SUV; investigators believed the attack was retaliatory gang violence. Cardova was identified as a documented gang member, and police said they were investigating the broader gang conflicts involved. No arrests had been announced.

Does anyone have information about Cardova, the shootings that morning, or the memorial attack?
