Angel M. Gontarz, 29, was killed in a drive-by shooting on August 9, 2026, in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. He was standing near a vehicle on the street when a car pulled alongside and an unknown person or persons opened fire; Gontarz was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Chicago Police Department opened a homicide investigation, canvassing the area for witnesses and seeking surveillance footage that might show the attack or the fleeing vehicle. Initial reports gave few details, and investigators have not publicly identified any suspects or announced arrests.

The case remains an open investigation with no charges, trials, or convictions reported. Does anyone with knowledge of Little Village on the evening of August 9 have information that could help investigators?
