Ricardo Gomez was fatally shot on the night of August 18, 2026, in Little Village, Chicago. He was 16 and standing outside near his girlfriend’s home in the 2600 block of South Hamlin Avenue shortly after 11:10 p.m. when a vehicle passed by and someone inside opened fire.

Ricardo was struck in the head and chest, collapsed near the sidewalk and grass, and later died at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Friends, family and neighbors held a vigil at the shooting site and described the killing as devastating for a young person known in the neighborhood. Investigators have surveillance images of the vehicle but had not publicly identified a shooter or announced a motive. No arrests or charges had been announced.
