Jesus Arellano was 20 when he was shot and killed on April 10, 2011, in an alley behind his home on the 2400 block of West 45th Street in Brighton Park on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The killing occurred during a violent weekend that included multiple shootings across the city.

Family and friends remembered Arellano; his funeral arrangements were handled by Funeraria del Angel Sagrado Corazon. The community’s mourning underscored the wider impact of gun violence in several neighborhoods at that time.

If anyone knew Jesus, saw activity in the alley behind the 2400 block of West 45th Street that weekend, or has information about his killing, please come forward.
