A 21-year-old man from South Bend, Indiana, died after being shot during an illicit street-racing gathering in a mall parking lot on Chicago’s Southwest Side. Martin Isaac Cantu Murillo was standing among spectators at the Ford City Mall “sideshow” when, at about 2:50 a.m. on June 13, 2026, a person wearing all black with a hood approached and fired, striking him in the head. Witnesses reported rapid automatic-style fire; officers recovered numerous shell casings, one count as high as 25, and observers said the weapon appeared to be an illegally modified pistol with a switch. The shooter fled in a red SUV. Murillo was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and was pronounced dead later that morning.

Area One detectives are investigating, no arrests have been announced, and no motive has been released. If anyone was at the Ford City Mall that night or has information about the red SUV or the person in black, please come forward.
