Hector I. Santiago, 23, was shot multiple times and killed on January 29, 2015, in the Hermosa neighborhood of Chicago. He was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting. The slaying occurred during a period when the city was experiencing elevated levels of gun violence, with many incidents that year linked to gang activity and interpersonal conflicts.

Reports say Santiago’s case fit a troubling pattern from 2015: homicides in neighborhoods with limited economic opportunity, widespread firearm access, and few witnesses or solid leads. If anyone knew Hector, was present in Hermosa that night, or has information that could help explain what happened, please come forward.
