Man Sentenced to 32 Years for Murdering Woman During Puerto Rican Fest in Chicago

A judge handed down a 32-year prison sentence to a man responsible for killing a woman and injuring a tourist during the Puerto Rican Fest celebrations in Humboldt Park three years ago.

On June 19, 2021, Nichole Osborne, 37, was walking with her husband, Brenndon Struck, on West North Avenue when a stray bullet struck her in the back, intended for someone else.

Struck shared in a heartfelt GoFundMe campaign how he desperately tried to save his wife, pleading with her to stay alive as she lay on the ground. Despite his efforts, Osborne tragically succumbed to her injuries at the hospital.

Angel Ayala, 25 years old at the time, was arrested by Chicago police days later in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors revealed that Ayala, wearing distinctive clothing and throwing gang signs, opened fire on a carload of visitors from Milwaukee, injuring one passenger and fatally striking Osborne.

Video evidence captured the shooting, leading detectives to identify Ayala and eventually apprehend him after a brief attempt to evade arrest. Ayala admitted to firing the gun but falsely claimed self-defense, which was disproven by the footage.

Prior to this incident, Ayala had a criminal record, including previous convictions for aggravated battery and carjacking. Despite being on the run in another case, Ayala pleaded guilty to murder in exchange for a 32-year sentence, avoiding a potential 25-year enhancement by specifying the murder weapon as a dangerous object rather than a firearm.

It was revealed that Ayala had been involved in a previous incident where he was found with a loaded rifle but was only charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and released on bond, failing to appear for subsequent court dates.

The sentencing of Ayala brings some closure to the tragic events that unfolded during the Puerto Rican Fest, but the impact of his actions continues to resonate within the community.

Justice has been served for Nichole Osborne and her loved ones, as the perpetrator faces the consequences of his reckless and deadly behavior.
