Harry D Rodriguez, 23, was shot and killed on October 23, 2011, during a birthday celebration at an apartment in Chicago’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood. A gunman fired through a back door; Rodriguez died and another man was wounded.

Rodriguez worked as a forklift operator and was active in his community as a youth coach for football and basketball and as director of a summer camp focused on keeping young people off the streets. His death cut short those efforts and affected family and neighbors who saw him as a role model.

This happened amid broader violence in the city that year, with residential neighborhoods like Belmont Cragin not immune to shootings that interrupted ordinary gatherings. If anyone knew Harry or has information about the shooting, please come forward with what you remember.
