The Palatine Police Department is actively seeking information regarding the whereabouts of Jesus Pantoja, a suspect who remains at large in connection with a fatal shooting. Pantoja was 18 years old at the time of the incident and resided in the 1500 block of Silver Lane in unincorporated Palatine. He is considered armed and dangerous. The case centers on a shooting that occurred on August 17, 2023, which resulted in the death of a 15-year-old male victim. On that morning, Palatine officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 1700 block of East Clear Creek Bay. Shortly thereafter, officers located the victim, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds, in the 1200 block of Long Valley Drive in unincorporated Palatine. The victim was transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge but later died from his injuries. While a 14-year-old male has been charged in juvenile court and is currently in custody, Pantoja remains free. The Palatine Police Department is marking the three-year anniversary of the crime by urging the public to come forward with any information that could assist in the investigation or lead to the arrest of Pantoja. Investigators emphasize that even seemingly insignificant details may prove valuable. Residents with information regarding the shooting or the current location of Jesus Pantoja are encouraged to contact the Palatine Police Department directly. Tips can also be submitted via the department's official tip link. The investigation remains open and active as authorities continue to search for the wanted suspect.
