Gloria Maria Aguilar, 23, was killed in a daylight ambush in Bronzeville on June 30, 2017. Just after 7:10 a.m. she was a back-seat passenger in a southbound car stopped at a red light in the 4100 block of South State Street when a black SUV pulled alongside and a man inside opened fire. The driver fled; the car stopped in the 5400 block of South Wentworth, where 22-year-old fellow passenger Alfonso Toro Jr. was found mortally wounded. Aguilar was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso and one to the right arm and was pronounced dead at 10:33 a.m.

Police described the attack as likely gang-related and identified shooters in a black SUV and a male gunman, but no one was in custody in the immediate aftermath and reports did not tie a later arrest specifically to this attack. Community memorial pages list Aguilar as a 23-year-old Latina killed by gunfire that morning.

If anyone has information about who was in the black SUV or the shooting that morning, please share what you know.
