Alejandro Arellano, age 29, was fatally shot on November 12, 2017, in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago. He and another victim, Angel Rosario, also 29, were sitting in a parked vehicle when a gunman approached, opened fire, and killed them both. This incident was part of a violent weekend in the city, adding to the ongoing gun violence crisis. The shooter fled the scene, and no arrests were immediately made following the attack.
Arellano's death contributed to the grim toll of gun-related homicides in Chicago during 2017, a year in which the city continued to struggle with rising violence in certain neighborhoods.
