June 21, 2021 | Robert Jonathan
A group of men converged on a couple who were celebrating the Puerto Rican People’s Day Parade in Chicago and allegedly shot them in a horrific incident that was originally caught on Facebook video.
The assailants numbering about six allegedly dragged the couple out of their vehicle, which was displaying the flag of Puerto Rico, and opened fire in the incident that occurred in Humboldt Park.
Victim Gyovanny Arzuaga, 24, a father of two young children, was rushed to a local hospital where he tragically died from a gunshot wound to the head. Yasmin Perez, 25, who was shot in the neck, is listed in critical condition. The suspects are reportedly still at large, and detectives are investigating, ABC 7 reported.
According to Arzuaga’s brother, the encounter started when his sibling allegedly rear-ended a parked car. The men then attacked the couple on Saturday night at about 9:15 p.m.
Authorities seemed to confirm this source of the violence. “A police spokeswoman said there was a crash before the shooting, leading a large crowd to surround Arzuaga’s vehicle in the 3200 block of West Division Street. Arzuaga and the woman were ambushed by up to three men, who fired shots at them, police said,” the Chicago Sun Times reported.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to cover medical bills and funeral service costs. Organizers have asked everyone to keep the couple’s children in their prayers
