Gerrardo Rodriguez, 31, was fatally shot on March 8, 2016, in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side. He was struck multiple times and died at the scene.

His death occurred during a year of sharply increased violence across the city, when Chicago recorded 762 homicides in 2016. Reports link that spike to gang rivalries, the availability of illegal firearms, and socio-economic stresses affecting neighborhoods like Gage Park. Efforts by the Chicago Police Department to increase patrols and boost community programs were already underway that year.
