Victim's mother pushes for answers in Belmont-Cragin cold case murder – 10 years later
One decade after her son, Robert, was fatally stabbed in Chicago's Belmont-Cragin neighborhood, Dolores Gonzalez told NBC Chicago that pictures and memories were all she had left.
“He had a smile that lit up the room,” she said in an interview.
Gonzalez's 21-year-old son was stabbed to death in August of 2013.
“10 years and no answers, and that’s what hurts,” she said.
Gonzalez said her son was with a friend, heading home that night, when he was jumped by four men near Belmont and Barry avenues. An autopsy report revealed that he was stabbed 15 times.
“I want to tell them, 'Why did you do this to my son?'" she cried. "'What would make you kill somebody like that?'"
As she copes with the unbearable pain of losing her son, Gonzalez has been relying on her faith to get through the days, months and years.
