Aristeo Soriano, 48, was shot and killed on August 9, 2017, while walking home from work in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. He had worked in the city for about 20 years at a local bakery, supporting a family in Mexico; survivors include four children and five grandchildren.

Family members say nothing was taken during the attack, leaving them to wonder why he was targeted. They began raising funds to return his body to Mexico so he could be buried near his parents, a wish he had maintained while living in the U.S. The killing is described as part of a wave of violence that year affecting Chicago communities.

Anyone who knew Soriano, saw him in Little Village that night, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
