Cuauhtmoc Silva, 30, was fatally shot on January 6, 2008, in a residential neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. Officers responding after reports of gunfire found Silva, who had been shot multiple times in what was reported as a targeted attack; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

The killing occurred during a violent period for the city, when Chicago’s homicide total for 2008 climbed past 500. No arrests were made immediately following the shooting, and the circumstances of Silva’s death remain unclear. Fear of retaliation and a lack of witnesses have been cited as obstacles to solving the case.

Does anyone who lived on the Southwest Side at that time or who knew Silva have information that could help explain what happened that night?
