Timmy Bermudez was a 19-year-old from Chicago who was found dead on April 20, 2014, in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates. His death was ruled a homicide after he was shot multiple times, an event that shocked the local community because of his young age and the violent nature of the attack.

Police treated the case as a major investigation, canvassing the area and interviewing potential witnesses. Investigators identified several suspects believed connected to gang activity in the neighborhood; two people were arrested and charged, including first-degree murder charges. Court hearings included testimony from witnesses, forensic experts, and law enforcement detailing evidence linking the suspects to the killing.

The defendants were found guilty and received lengthy prison terms, which the family and community received as a measure of closure. Anyone who knew Timmy, saw him in the days before April 20, 2014, or has information about the events that led to his death is asked to come forward.
