Hector Reyes, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was murdered on May 12, 1992, in Humboldt Park, Chicago. Montanez allegedly flirted with Reyes, then shot him in the back of the head while he was using a public restroom; she then handed the gun to another accomplice, who shot Cruz in the back of the head.

The case involved multiple prosecutions over many years. Montanez was originally sentenced to life without parole; later court rulings on juvenile sentencing led to a re-sentencing that reduced her term. Marilyn Mulero, then 21, was also implicated, was sentenced to death at one point, and later had her conviction overturned; she has since sued the city and a former detective alleging malicious prosecution and wrongful conviction. The killings were described as retaliation connected to gang activity.

Does anyone have information about Reyes, where he spent time in 1992, or witnesses who were in Humboldt Park that day?
