Oscar Ochoa-Tello, a 46-year-old father from Beach Park, Illinois, was shot while sitting in his car warming it in the driveway on the 38400 block of North Sheridan Road around 5:20 a.m. A relative rushed him to Vista Medical Center East, then he was airlifted to Advocate Condell Medical Center, where he died days later from complications of multiple gunshot wounds.

Detectives found no shell casings at the scene, a detail later linked to a revolver believed to be the weapon. Surveillance and photos taken by Ochoa-Tello’s son showed a suspicious Saturn in the neighborhood the morning before and the morning of the shooting; license-plate evidence traced the car to Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. Authorities arrested 28-year-old Cristian Noel Ruvalcava Torres, also known as Cristian N. Ruval-Cavatorres, after locating the vehicle and a revolver; prosecutors say he admitted shooting Ochoa-Tello and that he was paid $1,200 to do the killing. A second suspect, described as the alleged mastermind who hired the shooter, was also taken into custody in North Chicago.

Investigators have said they are exploring possible links to a drug-related killing in Mexico as they build a motive. Did anyone in Beach Park recognize the Saturn or notice anyone acting oddly in that neighborhood around the time of the shooting?
