Lewis N. Garcia, 31, was fatally shot on June 13, 2012, in the Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting happened in a porch or hallway, suggesting the attack occurred in a relatively private space near a residential building. Garcia’s death was one of many homicides recorded in Chicago during 2012, a year that saw an alarming surge in violence across the city.

Portage Park is typically residential, but the neighborhood experienced the same spike in deadly shootings that affected other parts of Chicago that year. The high number of homicides in 2012 underscored broader community challenges mentioned at the time, including gang conflicts and socio-economic issues that fueled violence. Does anyone have information about Garcia, his last known whereabouts that evening, or who might have been present at the scene?
