Chicago Police Unveil Surveillance Footage in Quest for Double Homicide Suspects
The Chicago Police Department has released images of two individuals sought in connection with the brutal double homicide of Faustino Alamo, 63, and his 25-year-old son Luis, who were shot to death outside their jewelry store in Little Village. The victims' identities have been forever etched into the minds of those in the community due to their reputation as a "hardworking" duo.
According to police reports, the crime unfolded on November 8th when a gunman parked across from the store and entered, snatching valuables before fleeing. Faustino Alamo and his son chased after him, engaging in a fierce struggle that ultimately led to gunfire. In a desperate bid for survival, Faustino fired back with one or two rounds from his own firearm.
The suspects, described as males wearing distinctive attire - one sporting a black North Face hooded jacket, glasses, brown pants, and gray sneakers, while the other donned a tan bucket hat, a Blackhawks jersey, tan pants, and black shoes - remain at large. Police warn that they are considered armed and dangerous.
Their white Maserati SUV was last spotted speeding south on Springfield Avenue, prompting an investigation into possible connections with organized crime groups.
A $10,000 reward has been offered through Cook County Crime Stoppers, while the Alamo family is seeking contributions to cover their expenses. Anyone with information about the double homicide or those involved in this heinous crime are urged to contact Area 4 detectives at 312-746-8252, or anonymously tip off CPDTIP.com.
As the search for justice unfolds, community members remember Faustino Alamo and his son as pillars of their neighborhood's strong work ethic. Their tragic loss serves as a stark reminder that violence knows no bounds in Chicago's streets.

... I mean, the fact that these guys were just minding their own business outside their store and then get caught up in this senseless violence is just heartbreaking 
. The idea of someone walking into a jewelry store, snatching valuables, and then gunning down two innocent people who just happened to be standing there is just so disturbing 
.
. I don't know if we can solve this case without putting ourselves in harm's way, but at the same time, not doing anything feels like a cop-out 
.
I hope people are coming forward with info because every bit of help counts. This whole situation just feels like it's a reminder of how quickly things can go from bad to worse in this city 
also can we talk about how the alamo family is handling this? i've heard they're getting some major backlash from their community for being so public with their emotions, like, they just lost their loved ones to senseless violence... no one deserves that 
... i feel like the chicago police are on top of this one and releasing all the info they got so far is super smart 
... the suspects dont stand a chance with that tan bucket hat tho lol 10k reward is nothing but its good to see people rally behind the alamo fam 
... hopefully these dudes get caught soon and justice is served 
these double homicide vids are straight fire 
but also super disturbing 
I mean, how do you even see someone gettin' caught on cam like that? it's wild 
my thoughts are w/ the Alamo fam right now 
meanwhile, the rich ppl w/ connections are still gettin away w/ whatever crimes they wanna commit 
the alamo fam deserves better than 10k 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that a double homicide can happen on a Tuesday afternoon, just like it's nobody business 
. Think about it, two people who were just trying to make ends meet, build a life, and now they're gone because of some senseless violence. It's like, what are we even doing? We're so caught up in our own little worlds, we forget that there are real people out there struggling to survive.
. The fact that their jewelry store was robbed is just a tiny part of this story. What's really at stake here is human life, dignity, and community. We need to take a step back and ask ourselves what kind of world we want to create where people feel safe and valued.
. It's the conversations we have with each other, the empathy we show, and the support we offer to those affected. That's what can actually change things. So let's take a moment to reflect on our own actions and how they impact others. We might just find that the real reward is in being part of something bigger than ourselves 
.
I'm like, totally confused about this whole thing... are these suspects even trying to hide or something? 
It doesn't make sense. Or maybe it's a clever ruse to throw the cops off their trail? 
I mean, it's possible that this crime is connected to some bigger organized thing... but then again, why didn't we hear about it sooner if it was that big of a deal? 
I guess only time will tell, but I'm still kinda torn on whether or not these guys are guilty 
but the reality is so much more painful, especially for Faustino and Luis's family who have to deal with all this. it's wild that their jewelry store was targeted - I feel like we've seen those kinds of scenes in movies where the characters are just trying to make a living but they get caught up in some crazy situation 
anyway, gotta give props to the community coming together and offering support to the Alamo family 
and hopefully these suspects will be caught soon so justice can be served 
... I mean, those guys were just trying to live their lives and make ends meet, you know? They weren't hurting anyone. It's like, what's the point of all this violence? 
You'd think with all these resources, they could catch these guys in like, a week. But nope, still out there, causing chaos... it's just crazy 
.
... yeah, that's the ticket! 
. I'm sending all my love and support to them and everyone affected by this senseless violence. Can't even imagine what they must be going through right now 
. The reward is $10k, but is it enough for justice? I hope the community stays strong and helps find those responsible.
. It's crazy how they were just doing their thing, working hard and building their jewelry store, when this happened 
.
. I hope they catch these guys soon and bring them to justice
