On the evening of August 19, 2023, two brothers were fatally shot in the 14000 block of Michael Todd Terrace, near Milwaukee Avenue in unincorporated Glenview. Jose Guzman-Ezquivel, 16, was pronounced dead at the scene; his brother Carlos Guzman-Ezquivel, 19, was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge and later died of his wounds. A third 16-year-old suffered a graze wound to his back.

Investigators say the shooting was retaliatory after a July altercation between Jose and 22-year-old Carlos Miranda of Prospect Heights. Prosecutors charged Miranda, a 15-year-old offender, 19-year-old Sergio Patino-Jaime of Wheeling, and 42-year-old Griselda Martinez of Itasca with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder. Authorities report the teen obtained a photo of Jose to identify him, Martinez acted as a lookout, and Patino-Jaime helped dispose of the getaway car; cellphone data and surveillance footage were among the digital evidence examined.

Carlos graduated Glenbrook South High School in 2022, worked at UPS, played soccer, and was remembered for his humor and care for family and friends. The family’s sister, Anette Guzman, organized a GoFundMe to help cover medical and funeral expenses.
