On the evening of January 18, 2026, 19-year-old Angel Xavier Aviles was found shot and killed in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. A passerby discovered Aviles slumped over the wheel of his white Honda after it had crashed in the 5800 block of West Walton Street; first responders initially treated the scene as a collision but then found Aviles had sustained gunshot wounds to his head and leg. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Chicago Police Department estimates the shooting occurred at about 6:30 p.m., roughly 19 minutes before officers were dispatched. Reports differ on what happened next: one witness said two gunmen emerged from behind a tree and opened fire, while another account described an unidentified man walking up to Aviles’s vehicle and firing. After being shot, Aviles’s car collided with an unoccupied parked vehicle before stopping. No arrests have been announced and detectives continue to investigate.

If anyone saw activity in the 5800 block of West Walton Street that evening or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
