William Radillo, a 24-year-old Hispanic man from Aurora, Illinois, was killed on January 2, 2017. Radillo, who used a wheelchair because of injuries from a 2011 shooting, was struck in a drive-by double shooting near State and Spring Streets on Aurora’s Near East Side. Police found him and another man with gunshot wounds; Radillo later died of his injuries.

The shooting was recorded as Aurora’s first homicide of 2017 and prompted an investigation by the Aurora Police Department. A vigil organized by the Prayer Coalition for Reconciliation drew family, friends and community members to the scene to mourn and call for justice. Reports provide few details about arrests, suspects, or subsequent legal action, and the case remained unresolved as described.

If anyone saw activity near State and Spring Streets that evening or has information about the drive-by, please come forward.
