Lauren Membreno, 23, was fatally shot while sitting in the front passenger seat of a parked vehicle in Chicago’s West Elsdon neighborhood on the Southwest Side. The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. on April 7, 2016, when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead at 5:37 p.m. on April 8, 2016.

Membreno lived in the 5300 block of South Spaulding and was with her boyfriend, who was in the driver’s seat; police say he was believed to have been the intended target and that Lauren was an unintended victim. Authorities identified 20-year-old Giovanni Garcia of Archer Heights as the shooter, and he was charged with murder and ordered held without bail.

Who in West Elsdon might have seen that parked car or the vehicle that pulled up that night?
