Abraham Barrera, 33, was fatally shot in Chicago on September 27, 2015. The shooting happened about 3:20 a.m. while Abraham and another person were driving in the 1100 block of West 18th Street and an assailant stepped out of an alley and opened fire. Abraham died at the scene.

His death occurred during a violent weekend in the city that left multiple people killed or wounded by gunfire, part of a larger surge of gun violence in Chicago in 2015 that hit neighborhoods on the South and West Sides especially hard. Abraham’s passing left a void for family and friends and underscored the public safety challenges community members were facing then.

If anyone knew Abraham or has information about the shooting, please come forward to share what you know.
