Rolando Gamino, 30, was fatally shot in Chicago, Illinois, on October 9, 2016. His death came during a particularly violent year for the city, which recorded 764 homicides in 2016 — a 58% increase from the year before — and where firearms were used in roughly 90% of homicides.

Gamino worked as a landscaper and is remembered by friends and family as kind; candles and messages have been shared in his memory. His killing is described as part of a wider surge in gun violence linked in reports to gang conflicts and the proliferation of firearms, affecting many parts of the city and especially low-income and predominantly minority communities.

Does anyone have information about Rolando’s life, where he worked, or the events of October 9, 2016?
