Frank Corona, a 22-year-old Hispanic male, tragically lost his life on November 17, 2019, in Chicago, Illinois. Frank was shot and killed inside a Subway sandwich shop located at the corner of 106th Street and Avenue B in the East Side neighborhood. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. when a group of five to six men entered the restaurant and began arguing with Frank. The confrontation escalated quickly, and one of the men pulled out a gun, shooting Frank in the head.
He was left to die in the store, and the suspects fled the scene in a black sport-utility vehicle.

Despite the evidence, no arrests were immediately made, and the suspects remained at large.
