His girlfriend and her mother placed candles near the spot where he was shot.

Ricardo was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

He was one of eight teenagers shot across Chicago in less than 12 hours. Seven survived. Ricardo was the only one killed.

The SUV was last seen fleeing south on Hamlin. No one is in custody, and Area Four detectives are investigating.
