Richard Rodriguez was 19 when he was shot and killed on June 7, 2015, in Chicago’s South Austin neighborhood. He and a friend, 19-year-old Josean Rueda, were driving near the 300 block of North Cicero Avenue and had parked at a liquor store. Surveillance footage showed a black Land Rover following them into the lot; the Land Rover’s driver, later identified as 31-year-old Jose Ortiz, briefly exited his vehicle and looked toward Rodriguez and Rueda before leaving and later following them along Cicero Avenue.

Ortiz pulled up alongside the victims’ car and fired several shots, striking both men twice. Both victims were taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead. Police recovered .45-caliber shell casings at the scene that were later matched to the weapon used, and a shell casing found near Ortiz’s vehicle windshield matched that weapon. Ortiz’s cellphone records placed him near the liquor store at the time, and school records for Ortiz’s child and his name on the car lease tied the Land Rover to him. Ortiz was charged with the murders and ordered held without bond.

Are there details about the events that night or witnesses in the area who haven’t come forward that could shed more light on what happened?
