Fernando Pineda was 23 when he was fatally shot on February 16, 2011, in an alley in Chicago’s McKinley Park neighborhood. The slaying occurred at night and is recorded among the many gun-related homicides that marked Chicago’s violent year in 2011, when the city saw over 400 murders.

Pineda’s death is presented as part of a broader pattern of firearm violence tied to gang activity and concentrated in neighborhoods with longstanding crime and resource challenges. The Chicago Police Department’s 2011 murder report lists his case among incidents stemming from conflicts involving guns.
