A targeted home invasion in Jamestown ended the life of Angel Ortiz Rodriguez on February 26, 2021. In the early hours just after midnight, the 43-year-old was shot in the chest and found in the side yard of his Peach Street residence; he was taken to UPMC Chautauqua and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The shooting happened in front of witnesses, including children, and authorities do not believe it was random.

Rodriguez was born September 1, 1977, in Humacao, Puerto Rico. He was a husband, father, and grandfather, and served as vice president of a local car club, LOS Contrincantes. He was known for his humor and charitable work, helping provide gifts and school supplies to families.

The Jamestown Police Department, working with the Chautauqua County District Attorney’s Office, executed a search warrant at the home and have reviewed nearby video footage, but no arrests have been announced. Can anyone with information about that night or the people involved help investigators and Rodriguez’s family?
