Adrianna Lopez, a 37-year-old special education teacher at Nathan S. Davis Elementary School in Chicago, was shot and killed on October 22, 2023, in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood. She was found just steps from her home in the 5400 block of South Narragansett Avenue after being shot multiple times shortly after 9:30 p.m. Police say a man she knew pulled up in a dark-colored SUV, exited, argued with Lopez and then opened fire; she was shot at least 10 times and later died despite initially being conscious and talking.

Colleagues and loved ones described Lopez as a dedicated teacher who had recently earned a master’s degree and hoped to become a principal. A candlelight vigil was held outside her home on October 27, attended by friends, family, Chicago Police Officers and former CPS colleagues. No charges had been filed in connection with her death as of these reports.

If anyone knew Adrianna, saw her the evening of October 22, or has information about what happened, please come forward to investigators.
