Michael R Gonzalez was 34 when he was killed on July 9, 2017, in Chicago, Illinois. The available record identifies his death as one of the many homicides during a period of elevated gun violence in the city but gives only block-level location information and no specific circumstances about what happened to him.

City public safety data notes that gun-related homicides have been concentrated in neighborhoods with social and economic challenges and that the database deliberately withholds detailed incident descriptions for privacy.
