Gustavo Garcia was 9 when he was shot and killed on July 14, 2017, on Chicago’s South Side. He was riding in an SUV late at night when someone fired into the vehicle; a 31-year-old man in the same vehicle was also wounded. No arrests have been announced in connection with the shooting.

Gustavo was the 14th child aged 12 or under to be shot in Chicago that year and the fourth child killed, a grim statistic amid a weekend of multiple shootings across the city. The killing occurred against a backdrop of escalating gun violence, concerns about gang-related conflicts, and a federal review of the city’s policing that drew national attention.

Does anyone have information about that shooting or remember details from the night of July 14, 2017?
