Edgar Romero, 38, was shot and killed on May 1, 2017, in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood near the 2700 block of West 51st Street. The shooting happened about 1:35 a.m. after Romero, who was driving, got into an argument with two male passengers. During the altercation one passenger pulled a gun and shot Romero in the head. The assailants fled southbound in the vehicle. Romero was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead shortly afterward.

This killing was one of several shootings across Chicago that weekend, part of a broader pattern of gun violence and unresolved conflicts in the city at that time. If anyone witnessed the argument, the shooting, or the vehicle leaving the scene, please share what was seen or heard.
