Israel C. Pena was 20 years old when he was shot and killed in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago on January 29, 2015. Officers found Pena unresponsive around 3 a.m. in the 1200 block of West 32nd Street with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the Cook County medical examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the chest.

An investigation into Pena’s murder was opened immediately. Police canvassed the area for witnesses and evidence, but details about suspects or a motive were not available in the immediate aftermath. Authorities reported difficulties identifying and apprehending suspects due to a lack of eyewitnesses and concrete leads, and no arrests have been announced.

Family and friends have held vigils and memorials while urging anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information about that night or recall seeing anything in the Bridgeport area around 3 a.m. on January 29, 2015?
