Albert Pavon, 64, was killed in Chicago on the morning of November 22, 2023. A devoted father, grandfather and brother, Pavon had a long-standing routine of waking at 4 AM to drive his son to work; that morning he was violently attacked and did not survive. Neighbors remember him as warm and engaged — often riding his bike, chatting with people on the block and feeding the squirrels their morning peanuts — and say his loss has left the community reeling.

An upstairs neighbor and close friend, Brenda Nigo, organized a fundraiser to help Pavon’s family with funeral expenses. If anyone knew Albert, saw him that morning, or has information about the attack, please come forward.
