Miguel Meza was 15 when he was fatally shot on August 3, 2024, in a drive-by shooting in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. The shooting occurred in front of a residence and also killed 17-year-old Carlos Galindo.

Families and friends of both victims have organized fundraising to cover funeral expenses and honor their memories. The incident has intensified local concern about ongoing gun violence and its effect on young people in the community.
