On the evening of August 7, 2016, Gilmar Carrillo, 42, was shot and killed while attending a recreational soccer game at Perry Park in Pontiac, Michigan. About 3,500 people were at the game when an earlier altercation between two groups of men prompted some individuals to leave and then return in a dark-colored car. At least two people in that vehicle opened fire into the crowd. Carrillo, described as an innocent bystander, was struck and fell from the bleachers; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

A 49-year-old man from Pontiac was also shot and survived. Carrillo had emigrated from El Salvador nearly two decades earlier and worked as a painter; he attended the game with his wife, Sandra Ramires. Police sought information from the public after the shooting and the community held a vigil to remember Carrillo and call for an end to violence.

If anyone has information about that night or knew Gilmar, please share what you know.
