Jimero Starling was 19 when he was killed on July 3, 2014, in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. According to accounts, Starling and friends were riding bicycles west on Division Street after leaving a party when a group identifying themselves as members of the Latin Kings confronted and harassed them. Starling said he was also a Latin Kings member, but the confrontation escalated.

Surveillance footage and witnesses say Randy Garfield Ruiz, 18, pointed a gun and shouted gang slogans, then Ruiz and another member, Jeremy Medina, 20, chased the cyclists. Medina and an accomplice caught and assaulted Starling; Ruiz ran up and shot him in the head, killing him. Both men were later arrested and charged with first-degree murder; Medina faced additional aggravated battery charges.

Does anyone have information about Starling, his friends, or the events that night?
