Overview
- Santino Delgado, 21, was shot and later died after a white SUV pulled up beside the car he was in with his father near Diversey and Kimball on Nov. 3 while they were making Instacart deliveries.
- Delgado’s father was in the vehicle and was not injured, and police say the shooter fled the scene; Area Five detectives are leading the probe but have announced no arrests or new public leads.
- Family members told reporters they do not believe Delgado was the intended target and described him as a hardworking student training to be a mechanic who worked delivery shifts to support his household.
- More than 100 mourners held a memorial walk, vigil and march in Logan Square on Nov. 10–11 to honor Delgado, demand a full investigation and urge the community to provide any tips to police.
- Local officials, including 35th Ward Ald. Anthony Quezada, are coordinating with CPD, and the case highlights concerns about the safety of gig-economy delivery workers and neighborhood gun violence.
