Jorge Ruiz was 16 when he was found shot multiple times in an alley in the 1600 block of North Keeler Avenue in Chicago on February 10, 2015. The Cook County medical examiner identified him and ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred about 10:10 p.m. in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Authorities described the killing as gang-related. Two people were charged with first-degree murder in the case: Jacob Morales, 18, and a 17-year-old boy also named Jorge Ruiz. Prosecutors say the suspects were involved in a gang and that the confrontation targeted another individual, Oscar Garcia; during that incident the 17-year-old suspect reportedly raised a handgun and shot Garcia, leading to the fatality. Surveillance footage, witness statements and admissions were cited by prosecutors, while the defense argued the video did not clearly identify the shooter.

Does anyone have information about Jorge Ruiz, his movements that night, or details about the alley near North Keeler Avenue that could help investigators?
