Two young children will now grow up without parents, with their mom and dad both now having died from their wounds in a gruesome shooting during Puerto Rican pride festivities in Humboldt Park.
As CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar reported, Gyovanny Arzuaga, 24, and Yasmin Perez, 25, were the parents of young kids Sofiya and Jayden. On Saturday night, they were the victims of a horrific shooting described as being execution-style – and which all stemmed from a minor traffic accident.
The couple came to Humboldt Park to celebrate the Puerto Rican People’s Parade on Saturday. In a now-viral video, a group surrounds their car and they pull Perez out of the driver’s seat, beat her, and then shoot her.
Arzuaga tried shielding her, but he too was shot and killed.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city does have some leads on who the possible shooter is, adding that no resource will be spared.
The couple streamed a Live video celebrating at a parade before the fatal parade where they were shot. Watch their last video here:
