Salvador Herrera, known as Sal, was killed Oct. 15 when he tried to stop a group from stealing an unoccupied car in the 700 block of South Loomis Street.

Marcelina Herrera grabbed a bullhorn Sunday afternoon, urging a crowd of dozens to chant “justice for Sal” loud enough so he could hear them all the way in heaven as they marched through the Near West Side. “My brother was the most selfless, caring, happy person that anyone could meet,” she said. “When I was 6 years old my father died and him, being a child himself, decided to raise me as his own — take on the role of a father and brother at the same time.

Chicago police said Sunday that they’re still investigating the case. No suspects are in custody. A witness told police that four men fled the scene after shooting toward a vehicle. Ald. Bill Conway, 34th, called Salvador Herrera a “wonderful member of our community,” saying his death was a tragedy. Conway’s ward includes the location where Herrera was killed.
