Jesse C. Montesdeoca, a 31-year-old Hispanic male, died on January 29, 2017, in Chicago after a violent confrontation during an attempted carjacking in the Belmont Central neighborhood. Montesdeoca and the co-defendant fled the scene after the shooting.

Investigators used surveillance footage to identify the co-defendant as the shooter. That suspect was arrested by the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force in Orland Park and charged with murder; bail was denied and the case was pending trial. The incident has been described as a focal point for the Chicago Police Department’s efforts against gun violence and carjackings.
