Kevin Rivera was 16 when he was fatally shot on June 16, 2013, in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood on the West Side. He was standing on the street when an unknown person approached and opened fire; Rivera was struck multiple times and pronounced dead shortly after.

The shooting occurred amid a year of elevated gun violence in the city, with many victims being teenagers or young adults. The case is described as one of several similar tragedies that highlighted the challenges facing vulnerable communities, including gang activity and easy access to firearms, and prompted calls for community-based violence prevention and more resources for youth.

Does anyone have information about Kevin, where he spent time in Humboldt Park, or about the shooting itself?
