"Domestic violence is something that's plaguing our city, plaguing our community, and we've been silent for way too long. And there's community members that know that incidents like these are occurring, and when they see something, they need to say something. There are resources that are out there," Villegas said, WBBM-TV in Chicago reported.

"It's tragic, there were clues, hints that something was going on, but people were silent," Villegas said, FOX 32 reported. "We want people to call it out, so we don't find ourselves in a position as in this case where someone was shot and killed."
