Victor Alezandar Cedillo, 16, was found shot in an alley in Chicago’s Little Village on the night of December 14, 2024. Officers responding to reports of gunfire at about 10:06 p.m. discovered him with a gunshot wound to the back in the 3100 block of West Cermak Road; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:35 p.m. The Cook County medical examiner later confirmed his name.

The scene was chaotic: a green SUV had slammed into an unoccupied parked car nearby, and investigators believed Victor may have been inside that parked vehicle before he was found in the alley. Police described the crash and the shooting as connected, but the precise sequence of events in those final minutes remains unclear. Area Four detectives canvassed the neighborhood, and news reports emphasized that no one was in custody and no suspect had been publicly identified.

Does anyone in Little Village have information about Victor, the green SUV, or the events on the night of December 14, 2024?
