Adam Lara was 16 when he was shot and killed on July 14, 2014, in the Hermosa neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened in daylight near Belmont Gardens on the Northwest Side while Adam stood with his father; the father was also shot but survived.

Adam was the youngest of six siblings. Family described him as a beloved son and brother, and candles were lit in his memory. The attack was one of several violent incidents in the area and added to concerns about gun violence affecting Chicago’s youth and public safety in the community.
