On a cold December evening in 2020, the life of 20-year-old Hispanic male Alejandro Gonzalez was tragically cut short in Delavan, Wisconsin. The night of Sunday, December 13th, was shattered by the sound of gunfire at an apartment complex located at 820 Parish Court. Multiple 911 calls flooded into the local police department around 9 p.m., with distressed callers reporting the chilling sound of gunshots and the chaotic scene of several cars hastily fleeing the area.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a grim discovery: Alejandro Gonzalez, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Despite the immediate efforts of the first responders to provide life-saving measures, Gonzalez succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The young man, known to his loved ones as "Alex," was born in Harvard, Illinois, and was remembered as a creative individual who had a passion for drawing, singing, and rapping. He was also a devoted son, actively involved in helping his parents care for his younger sisters. His sudden and violent death sent ripples of grief and shock through the community.
The investigation into the homicide of Alejandro Gonzalez was launched immediately, with the City of Delavan Police Department taking the lead. In the initial stages of their inquiry, law enforcement officials appealed to the public for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward. They specifically requested that residents in the vicinity of the shooting review any exterior camera footage for unusual activity or vehicles leaving the area around the time of the incident. However, in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, police confirmed that there were no suspects in custody.
Nearly a year later, in November 2021, a significant development in the case emerged as police executed four search warrants in the city of Beloit. These warrants were carried out at four separate residences: 409 1/2 Prospect Street, 842 Vine Street, 927 Eighth Street, and 1551 Euclid Avenue. The multi-agency operation involved officers from the Delavan and Beloit Police Departments, as well as sheriff's deputies from both Rock and Walworth Counties. Despite this coordinated effort, authorities announced that no arrests were made in connection with the homicide. The investigation into the death of Alejandro Gonzalez remains an active and open case, with no publicly identified suspects.
