Gabriela Gaby Ochoa, 31, was shot to death on the evening of August 16, 2025, in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. She was outside in the 800 block of West 27th Street about 8:40 p.m. when occupants of a dark or black sedan approached; witnesses say a robbery attempt and a struggle unfolded in front of her nephew and sister before a male gunman fired, striking her in the chest. Three shell casings were recovered on the block.

Gabriela Ochoa was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:04 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner. Area 1 detectives were investigating and as of late August 2025 no arrests had been announced; a $10,000 reward was publicized for information leading to an arrest. Friends and family held memorials and published obituary notices remembering her life.

If anyone witnessed the attempted robbery or saw a dark or black sedan flee the area that evening, please share what you know with investigators.
