On the evening of September 15, 2017, four people were ambushed in a bullet‑riddled sedan on the 4700 block of South Fairfield Avenue in Brighton Park, Chicago. Around 8:35 p.m. witnesses reported roughly 30 gunshots; a white SUV was seen fleeing the scene. The victims pronounced dead at the scene included 24‑year‑old Joel Sandoval, his brother Miguel Sandoval (27), Michelle Cano (21), and Ida Arvizu, who was seven months pregnant.

Arvizu had met with Joel that day and was the mother of his unborn child, intended to be named Ramundo. Family members said Arvizu had recently ended the relationship because of concerns about Joel’s gang associations; relatives also described the others in the car as involved in gang life. Despite multiple leads, no arrests have been announced and the case has gone cold.

Did anyone in Brighton Park have information about that night or the white SUV that left the scene?
