Alex Hernandez was 19 when he was fatally shot on August 12, 2009, on a sidewalk in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. The shooting occurred during a period when West Town was experiencing frequent gang-related violence, and Hernandez’s death was recorded as another young life lost to gunfire amid those tensions.

It also states that law enforcement struggled to curb the violence despite stepped-up patrols and community interventions, and that many such homicides remain unsolved or under-investigated.

Did anyone in West Town at the time see or remember details about the shooting that could help shed light on what happened to Alex Hernandez?
