Kirk Orellana, 22, was shot and killed on January 9, 2011, in an alley in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood during the early morning hours. The slaying left a young daughter without a father and plunged his family and school friends into grief.

Friends recalled Kirk as sweet, happy, and likable, remembered for a big smile. Tributes from those who knew him described his death as senseless and placed it in the broader context of ongoing gun violence affecting Chicago neighborhoods.
