Alexander Villafane, 39, was shot on January 25, 2015, while working on his car outside his home in Little Village, Chicago. Earlier that day his vehicle’s catalytic converter had been stolen. According to reports, a van drove by, someone opened the side door and fired a single shot that struck Villafane in the head; he died of his injuries two days later. His 16-year-old son was nearby walking the family dogs and heard the shot.

Villafane was a husband to Tanika Martinez and a father of four. He founded and coached the Humboldt Park Patriots youth football team and was described as a community-minded mentor. The Chicago Police Department investigated but had not identified suspects or a motive, and no arrests had been announced.

Does anyone in Little Village or Humboldt Park have information about that day or the van seen near Villafane’s home?
