Nelson N. Urrutia Jr., 32, was shot and killed in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood on May 2, 2026. The preliminary account identifies his death as a homicide; no motive or suspect information has been released publicly.

Nelson was a father to two children, a son David and a daughter Mia, and one of nine siblings: Jessenia, Jonathan, Issai, Stephanie, Maria, James, Christopher, and David. The family planned a visitation at a Hillside funeral home with a service and interment at a nearby cemetery, and a GoFundMe was set up to help cover funeral expenses.
