Alfonso Barrientos Jr., a 44-year-old Latino man, was shot multiple times at 2020 Pasadena Avenue in Montecito Heights and died at 5:07 a.m. on Sunday, April 29.

He was walking back to his car from a bar called ‘The California Club’--a place familiar to Hollenbeck police who have responded to homicides there in the past--when he was attacked, said Det. Scott Smith.

Although the shots must have been clearly audible, and Barrientos’ body was lying in plain view on the sidewalk, no one called police until well into the following morning. A woman walking down the street with her son at first thought the person was drunk and unconscious, but realizing the situation, made a report.

Barrientos had a history of narcotics dealing, police said.
