Jose A. Nieves, 38, was shot and killed on January 2, 2017, on Chicago’s Northwest Side. The shooter was an off-duty Chicago police officer, Lowell Houser, who said the shooting occurred in self-defense during an altercation. A criminal investigation followed and charges were brought against Houser; a bench trial resulted in a conviction for second-degree murder. Nieves’ family said they felt some relief after the conviction, viewing it as a measure of justice for Jose’s death.

Does anyone have information about Jose’s life or the circumstances that led to the altercation that night?
