Abel Melesio, 46, was shot and killed on August 3, 2017, in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. He was outside his home in the 5600 block of South Richmond Street, watering his lawn just before noon when the attack occurred in broad daylight. Reports say the shooting happened suddenly and Abel had no chance to react.

A father of five, Abel was remembered as a caring person whose death left his young children without their father. The slaying was one of many homicides that year affecting Chicago’s South and Southwest sides and came amid ongoing concerns about gang activity and random acts of violence in the area.
