Marcellino Borzewski, 27, was fatally shot in Chicago’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood shortly before 2 a.m. on January 18, 2025. The shooting occurred in the 6000 block of West Belden Street while he and a 29-year-old man were standing outside; both were struck when gunfire erupted. Borzewski, a River Grove resident, sustained a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to Loyola University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The other man suffered gunshot wounds to the back and shoulder and was treated at Advocate Christ Medical Center in good condition.

Officials described the incident as a drive-by and characterized Borzewski as an innocent victim. He was a father to six-year-old twin boys, Angelo and Lorenzo, and is remembered by family as a devoted provider and as a son, twin brother, grandson, uncle, and friend. Area Five detectives are investigating, and family members have set up a fundraiser to support the twins’ education and future needs.

If anyone has information about the drive-by shooting or was in the 6000 block of West Belden Street that night, please share what you know.
