Sergio Mora was 19 when he was shot and killed in Chicago on February 7, 2013. His death occurred during a year the city saw a surge in violent crime, with many neighborhoods affected by gang conflicts and retaliatory shootings.

The homicide is described as representative of broader challenges that year: frequent firearm violence, areas with high levels of gang activity, and a volatile environment in which disputes often turned lethal. Mora’s killing is recorded among the Chicago Police Department’s 2013 crime statistics and underscores the impact of youth violence on families and communities.

If anyone knew Sergio, saw him that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what you remember.
