On the evening of August 24, 2016, 26-year-old Jose Ortiz of Worcester, Massachusetts, was shot and killed near 2 Elliot Street in the Bell Hill neighborhood. Ortiz had just left his sister’s home and was walking to his job as a personal care assistant when a minivan pulled up alongside him at about 9:06 p.m. An unidentified man exited the vehicle, argued with Ortiz in the roadway and fired a single shot that struck Ortiz in the chest. The shooter then reentered the minivan and fled, driving down Elliot Street toward Belmont Street.

First responders found Ortiz unconscious and he was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:30 p.m. Ortiz was a father of two young boys. The killing was Worcester’s sixth homicide of 2016 and, as of the most recent publicly listed information, remains unsolved. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who lived in the Bell Hill area that night or who remembers seeing a minivan near 2 Elliot Street have information that could help this investigation?
