Alejandro Jano Fuentes, 45, a singer who had been a top 10 finalist on Mexico’s version of The Voice in 2011, was shot and killed on June 18, 2016, in Chicago’s Brighton Park neighborhood. The attack occurred as he was leaving Tras Bambalinas School, a performing arts academy he owned. Fuentes was in his car with a passenger when an armed man approached, ordered him out, and, when Fuentes resisted, shot him three times in the head. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead.

Fuentes had moved to Chicago three years earlier to take part in a play and then stayed to open the studio, which became an important community institution. Friends and family held a vigil at his studio and said they were shocked; some close to him speculated the gunman may have been waiting for him, suggesting the attack could have been targeted. Authorities have not identified any suspects or made arrests and have also considered an attempted carjacking or robbery as a possibility.

Does anyone who knew Fuentes or who was near Tras Bambalinas on June 18, 2016, have information that could help identify the shooter?
