On June 4, 1997, at approximately 9:45 in the evening, two teenagers were shot at DeArco’s Pizzeria, on the southwest side of Chicago. One of them, Miguel Macias, was killed, and the other, Hugo Munoz, was badly injured.
Macias and Munoz were members of a gang called the United Latino Organization (ULO).
According to eyewitnesses, a person flashing gang signs and indicating that he was a “United Latino killer” entered the pizzeria.
After that person left the restaurant, another young man returned with a gun and opened fire.
Three members of the United Latino Organization who were present at the time identified Raygoza as the gunman and Leslie Matos as the person who first walked into the pizzeria.
In addition, Raul Quezada, a young member of the rival Latin Soul street gang, to which Raygoza and Matos belonged, testified that he was at the pizzeria that evening serving as a lookout.
