Latino male Vicente A. Hernandez, 33, was caught in the quiet of a late spring night in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood when gunfire broke the stillness on April 14, 2022.
Around 11:25 p.m., on the 2200 block of North Kilpatrick Avenue, he was shot in the chest. A friend rushed Vincente A. Hernandez from the scene to Loyola University Medical Center, but he was pronounced dead soon after arrival.
Police and the Cook County medical examiner confirmed his identity and the basic contours of
what happened that night.
Detectives from Area Five opened a homicide investigation as neighbors absorbed the shock of another life cut short. The address sat within the 25th police district on the Northwest Side, where officers had been tracking a bruising stretch of violence that spring. In the immediate aftermath, authorities said no one was in custody, and they released no details about a motive.
In the days that followed, traces of grief and remembrance gathered online. An obituary noted services in Berwyn later that month, a small map of time and place for those who loved him, while community posts urged anyone with information to contact the police tip line, trying to turn anonymous knowledge into a name.
Across subsequent public reporting and incident archives that catalog shootings by date and block, there has been no announcement of an arrest or named suspect in the killing of 33 year old Vincente A. Hernandez. News coverage, community summaries, and incident databases all point to an investigation that remains without a publicly identified offender. Thus adding the ever-growing Unsolved murders in the city of Chicago and the neighborhoods within her boarders.
