Jose Luis Guiza was 16 when he was killed in Chicago on November 21, 2008. His death occurred during a year when the city recorded over 500 homicides, a period marked by a sharp rise in shootings that disproportionately affected young people in neighborhoods facing deep social and economic challenges.

Jose’s memorial is recorded at All Saints Catholic Cemetery, a sign of the community’s grief.
