On September 24, 2009, 28-year-old Jose L. Vargas was shot and killed during a violent confrontation in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. Witnesses said the shooter opened fire from a vehicle and later identified Gilberto Luis Vargas as the person who discharged the firearm that struck Jose. Gilberto was known to police before the incident and fled the area after the shooting. He was later tracked down and arrested in Huntsville, Alabama following an investigation that included witness identifications tying him to the crime. Court testimony during the trial centered on those witness identifications and the question of who fired the weapon that caused Jose’s death.

Does anyone have memories of Jose or information about that night that could shed more light on what happened?
