Juan Gonzalez, 27, was fatally shot twice outside his apartment in Chicago, Illinois, late at night on December 24, 2016, after an argument. The shooter fled in a vehicle and, during the initial investigation, no suspects had been identified. His killing came near the end of a year that saw a sharp rise in Chicago homicides, which exceeded 760 by year’s end and were often linked to gang violence and gun-related disputes.

Gonzalez’s death was one of many homicides that remained unsolved amid strained police resources and community distrust. Funeral services were held shortly after his death as family and neighbors mourned another life lost to the city’s surge in violence. If anyone knew Gonzalez, saw activity near his apartment that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
