Brandon Alcaraz, 22, was killed just before midnight on March 2, 2024, in a car-to-car shooting in Little Village. His vehicle was stopped at a stop sign on the 2500 block of South Trumbull Avenue when another car pulled alongside and opened fire; Alcaraz was struck in the head, taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, and pronounced dead. A 17-year-old passenger in the same vehicle was shot in the leg and survived.

Witnesses described the assailants’ vehicle as a white sedan, reported by one outlet as a two-door, which fled the scene and left the intersection at 25th and Trumbull littered with shell casings. Police sealed the perimeter, canvassed the neighborhood and searched for cameras, but in the initial reports no arrests had been announced and no suspect descriptions beyond the vehicle were released.

Residents organized a peace march in the days after the killing as the community grieved and sought answers. Does anyone who was in Little Village that night or who may have seen a white sedan near 25th and Trumbull have information to share?
