17 is way too young 
and it's crazy that it happened at a wendy's 
i mean what if he was just there for a burger or something? anyway hope the investigators can catch the person who did this soon 
♫️ we need justice for rodrigo 
btw did you see that video of the police chase on youtube last week 
Can't believe this is happenin' in our own backyard! Archer Heights is supposed to be safe, you know? 
This random shooting is just a reminder that no one's immune to violence. I'm so angry and sad at the same time - how can we let this happen?! 
We need more support for mental health and gun control measures ASAP! 
the thought of some teenager getting caught in the crossfire of a random shooting is just devastating 
it's just not fair. I hope the authorities can catch the person responsible soon, but until then, this community needs all the love and support it can get 
let's keep sending positive vibes and holding onto hope for justice 
. it's like they're erasing the history of this area. anyway, a 17-year-old life lost is just heartbreaking 
. can't believe no one's been caught yet. feels like we're getting nowhere fast... needs to be done faster 
I'm so fed up with these random shootings in Chicago 
It's always the same story - someone gets caught in the crossfire and it's just devastating 
! Can't we get some decent gun control laws in this country already? 
. And what about the families of the victim?! 
They deserve justice, but instead they're left wondering what could've been done differently... it's just not fair 
And it's not like he even did anything wrong, just walking into Wendy's to grab a meal. It's just so... senseless 
but we have to do better as a community we need to find a way to make our cities safer for everyone 
i feel so bad for rodigos fam they dont deserve this lol did u hear about this? its all over the news
