Juan Pita-Rosas, 32, was fatally shot in Chicago on September 4, 2016, during a violent Labor Day weekend that saw a surge in gun violence across the city. His death occurred amid a broader spike in homicides that year, when Chicago recorded a significant rise in fatal shootings tied to gang conflicts, socio-economic pressures, and increased availability of firearms.

Pita-Rosas is listed in several memorials and homicide databases, including the National Gun Violence Memorial and the Chicago Sun-Times homicide database, which record victims’ names to remember lives lost and illustrate the scope of the city’s crisis.
