Rey Dorantes was 14 when he was shot and killed on January 12, 2013, while sitting on the front porch of his family’s home on West Augusta Boulevard in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened about 11:50 p.m.; Rey was talking on his cell phone when a gunman reportedly approached, shouted gang slogans, and fired six times. Investigators determined the attack was gang-related.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Rey’s father, Esteban Dorantes, has taken part in community efforts calling for change in response to youth violence in the city. The broader pattern of youth and gang violence in Chicago is cited in connection with Rey’s death.

Did anyone in Humboldt Park at the time see or hear anything that could help bring Rey’s killer to justice?
