Raul J. Lagunas, 28, was fatally shot on August 23, 2015, in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. He was a father to several children and is remembered by his family as a devoted son, brother, and father.

His killing came during a year when the city saw a marked rise in homicides, with over 468 deaths in 2015, and Humboldt Park was identified as one of the areas heavily impacted by gun violence. The neighborhood has long struggled with violence amid reports of gang activity and socioeconomic challenges, and local efforts at increased policing and community programs had not ended the bloodshed.

Raul Lagunas’s death is part of that larger pattern of loss and grief in the community. If anyone knew Raul or has information about the shooting, please share what you can with investigators or with others who remember him.
