Xavier Soto was 15 when he was shot and killed on April 27, 2017, in the 4900 block of West George Street in Chicago’s Cragin neighborhood. Federal documents state he was targeted by Pedro Navarro, a member of the Milwaukee Kings street gang; Navarro allegedly drove up and shot Soto, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Navarro is also accused of attempting to murder two others that same day.

Authorities link Soto’s killing to the Milwaukee Kings’ efforts to assert dominance and raise members’ status through violence and drug trafficking. The case was included in broader indictments against gang members accused of committing murder and other violent acts to expand their influence.

Does anyone have information about Xavier’s last known movements or who else might have witnessed the shooting?
