Christian Rodriguez, 24, was fatally shot on June 11, 2017 in the 4800 block of South Winchester Avenue in Chicago. Authorities say members of the La Raza street gang had been instructed by leaders to seek out and attack rival gang members; Rodriguez was identified as a rival and was struck multiple times by gunfire from an AR-15 shortly after 5 p.m. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and died less than two hours later.

Investigators say surveillance footage, including images from police-operated POD cameras, helped identify 17-year-old Christopher Villagomez of the Back of the Yards neighborhood as one of the shooters. Witnesses and Deering District tactical officers familiar with Villagomez reportedly linked him to the attack. Villagomez was arrested at school, charged with first-degree murder, denied bail, and is reported to have given a recorded confession in the presence of his mother and detectives. His attorney noted he was a high school sophomore with attendance problems and said he had left La Raza.

Does anyone have information about Christian Rodriguez, his movements that afternoon, or about the shooting near South Winchester Avenue?
