Alejandro Trujillo Moreno, 47, was fatally shot near his Cicero, Illinois, home on December 26, 2023. A mechanic and father of two teenagers who was originally from Michoacán, Mexico, Trujillo had just returned from work around 4:31 p.m. Surveillance video and eyewitnesses show him parking near 19th Street and 49th Avenue, where two unknown suspects were waiting. An altercation followed and Trujillo was shot multiple times; the suspects then fled in his vehicle after he fell to the ground.

The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide. Trujillo’s wife, who asked to remain anonymous, heard the shots, saw the SUV with the driver’s side door open and witnessed one suspect drive away after the second gunshot. Police recovered the stolen vehicle but, as of the latest reports, no arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing. The family has set up a GoFundMe for funeral expenses and is appealing for information. If anyone has details that could identify the suspects, contact the Cicero police anonymously at 708-652-2130.
