A late-night shooting on November 1, 2024, in Summit, Illinois, left two people dead, including 16-year-old Jaydin Bahena. Jaydin, an 11th-grade student at Argo Community High School who worked at an AutoZone on Archer and 72nd Court, was riding his bike home from work near Hanover Street and 73rd Court when he was found with gunshot wounds around 10:20 p.m. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead on November 2, 2024.

A 34-year-old man found shot in a nearby vehicle was initially misidentified in some reports but later confirmed as Juan Jose Morales of Summit; he was pronounced dead the night of the shooting. Summit police and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force say both victims were shot by the same person, and no arrests have been announced.

Argo Community High School described Jaydin as kind and vibrant; the school has provided social workers and counselors while the family’s GoFundMe for funeral and memorial expenses has drawn community support. If anyone was in the Hanover and 73rd Court area that night or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
