Officer Raymond C. Kilroy, 47, was killed in the line of duty on May 13, 1990, while serving with the Chicago Police Department. Kilroy and his partner, Officer Gregory Hauser, responded to a domestic disturbance at 2158 North Nordica Avenue. After interviewing the resident, Florence C. Zuniga, the officers went to the detached garage where Zuniga’s 23-year-old grandson, Ramon Samuel Chavez, was located.

Officer Kilroy was shot four times — at the rear base of the head, the top of his left shoulder, the left chest, and the left arm — and was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 9:55 p.m. Officer Hauser was also wounded, and Chavez fled the scene.

Police arrested Ramon Samuel Chavez shortly after the attack, at 2:22 a.m. on May 14, 1990. He was charged in connection with the shootings. Officer Kilroy had served with the department for over 20 years; his death was described as a profound loss to colleagues and the community.

Did anyone in the neighborhood around North Nordica Avenue at that time witness the disturbance or the events in the garage?
