Kevin Rodriguez-Ruiz, 31, was shot and killed on July 19, 2026, in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. Police say officers responded about 9:30 PM to reports of gunfire in the 1200 block of Sunnyside Court and found Rodriguez-Ruiz in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was pronounced dead; an autopsy confirmed the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified a suspect, 26-year-old Juan U. Lopez-Aguayo of Round Lake Beach. Authorities say the shooting was not random: Lopez-Aguayo was the ex-boyfriend of Rodriguez-Ruiz’s girlfriend and the two shared a child. A Ring doorbell camera reportedly recorded the incident. Lopez-Aguayo then allegedly attempted to shoot the girlfriend but the gun did not fire, fled the scene, and was arrested hours later during a traffic stop on Interstate 57 in southern Illinois. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder and was ordered held pending trial.

Kevin Rodriguez-Ruiz was a father of two and worked as an auto body expert who enjoyed art, music, and restoring vintage cars. Does anyone have information about the shooting, the location, or Rodriguez-Ruiz’s life that could help investigators or the family?
