Santana Riles, 28, was shot to death on August 17, 2024, in Chicago. Born in 1996 in Harvey, Illinois, he most recently lived in Chicago.

An obituary and memorial page has been created where friends and family can post photos, comments, and condolences. That page also hosts a fundraising effort to help cover funeral and burial expenses — the family’s financial strain is highlighted by his grandmother’s inability to work and a daughter’s recent move from Chicago to St. Louis, which has complicated arrangements and travel costs.

The investigation remains open and the community has organized support for the family. If anyone knew Santana or has information about the shooting on August 17, please come forward.
