Andres Avitia, a 20-year-old Hispanic man from Chicago, was shot and later died on March 1, 2013. He was riding in a vehicle in the 7700 block of South Pulaski Road in the Southwest Side Scottsdale neighborhood when a gray sedan pulled alongside and opened fire. He suffered gunshot wounds to the head and left shoulder and was taken to Advocate Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, where he died that evening.

Investigators determined the shooting was gang-related and identified members of the Latin Kings as the perpetrators. Andres’s brother, Daniel Avitia, identified the shooter as Reaper, later determined to be Edwin Garcia. Despite that identification, the State’s Attorney did not approve charges against Garcia; the investigation faced difficulties related to witness reliability and the complexities of gang-related violence.

Does anyone have information about this shooting or knew Andres that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
