#chicago #gang #arrest Little Village (South Lawndale) sits at the crossroads of culture and conflict on Chicago’s Southwest Side. This episode traces the neighborhood’s decades-long gang rivalry—Latin Kings (People Nation) vs. Two-Six/Satan Disciples (Folk Nation)—and walks through key arrests, prosecutions, and community flashpoints. From the 2012 porch-side murder of 6-year-old Aliyah Shell to the 2024 New Year’s Day attempted murder case, we break down what happened, how investigators made the cases, and how residents keep fighting to reclaim 26th Street. Cases Covered (quick hits) • Aliyah Shell (2012): Prosecutors say two Latin Kings (Juan Barraza, Luis Hernandez) hunting rivals opened fire from a pickup; Aliyah, 6, was struck and killed on her porch. Both later convicted. • Drive-Thru attack (2015): Two Latin Kings (Jonathan Gonzalez, Luis Olvera) accused of injuring a toddler and infant by hurling hydrant caps/objects into a family minivan at a McDonald’s on S. Kedzie. • David “Casper” Martinez (2016): Prosecutors allege Latin King Lamar Baker ambushed Martinez (Two-Six) and wounded a teen companion near S. Kedvale. • Baker follow-up: Acquitted in a separate 2017 murder/attempted murder, then charged in the 2016 killing of Arturo Piña; held without bond. • Juan “Crow” Amaya (2014 sentence): Latin Kings Regional Inca for 26th Street; convicted in a federal RICO case and sentenced to 35 years; feds said he oversaw 1,000+ members. • Frank Aguilar (2019): 32-year-old nurse killed near W. 32nd; Armando Lopez charged as driver of a Jeep Commander; police said shooter remained at large as the case developed. • Albany Ave. clash (2017): Eleven arrested and eight CPD officers injured while dispersing a large crowd; an officer fired when a car allegedly drove toward police; no one struck. • Melissa Ortega (2022): 8-year-old killed near 26th & Pulaski; teen shooter and alleged driver Xavier Guzman charged; gun traced to scene, per police • Knee shooting (2022): 27-year-old hit in a drive-by on W. 23rd Pl.; Steven Montano, Rodrigoo Ramirez, and a 15-year-old charged shortly after. • Miguel Navarrette (2014): Two 19-year-olds—Martin Miranda and Andres Guerra—charged after witnesses said a sawed-off shotgun was fired from a dark SUV on W. 30th. • David Lopez case: Two alleged Satan Disciples—David Chavez and Xavier Encarnacion—held without bail after an alley shooting on W. 23rd St. • New Year’s Day 2024: Angelo Velez charged with attempted murder on S. Kildare; stopped in a Kia Soul; gold handgun recovered; prior gun case had been dropped months earlier. Context & takeaway These cases show how fast neighborhood beefs spill into public spaces—porches, drive-thrus, alleys—and how detectives piece together ballistics, video, and traffic stops to make arrests. Just as important, they show neighbors stepping up: sharing footage, testifying, and organizing to keep 26th Street a family corridor. Important All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. We do not glorify gangs or violence; this video documents public cases to understand patterns and push for solutions.
