Benjamin L. Robles, 30, was fatally shot on August 20, 2017, in Chicago’s Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side. He was in his vehicle stopped at a red light when someone opened fire; the shooting occurred while he was inside his car. Robles was a husband and father, and his family was left devastated by the sudden loss.

Reports describe the killing as an apparent targeted attack, though the circumstances also raised the possibility that he may not have been the intended target, reflecting the collateral nature of shootings that have affected Brighton Park and other neighborhoods. The case is one of many shooting incidents documented by the Chicago Police Department in 2017.

If anyone knew Benjamin, saw activity near that red light on August 20, 2017, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to investigators.
