Robert Santos was 18 when he was shot and killed on March 13, 2023, in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. He was in a car with his sister Angela and her children, ages 1, 6, and 16, when another vehicle passed and a single shot struck Robert in the back. Angela drove him to the nearest hospital, but he did not survive.

Family members remember Robert for trying to shield his younger nieces and nephews during the shooting; his sister described him as a teen who loved his family and took care of them until the end. The shooting occurred near 58th Street and Western Avenue. No arrests have been announced and no specific suspects have been charged; Angela believes someone he knew may have set him up. The family has posted a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs.
