Police are asking for the public’s help after two teenagers were shot and killed in unincorporated Glenview on Saturday night, officials said.

The Cook County sheriff’s office said officers were called to an apartment complex in the 10400 block of Michael Todd Terrace in unincorporated Glenview on a report of shots fired shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered two male victims with multiple gunshot wounds,” police said in a statement.

“The investigation is still ongoing,” Sherbbn Mohammad with the Cook County Sheriff’s office said Monday.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the victims as, Jose Guzman, 16, who was pronounced dead at the scene of multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide. The second victim is identified as Carlos Guzman, 19, who was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, where later he was pronounced dead.

According to a statement in English and Spanish on a “GoFundMe” page created by the brothers’ family to raise money for burial expenses, Carlos and Jose were the sons of Carlos and Azucena Guzman and younger brothers to Anette and Andrea Guzman. It says Carlos was born on January 3, 2004 and graduated from Glenbrook South High School in 2022.

“Carlos worked at UPS and loved playing soccer,” the statement said. “He always had a sense of humor and was understanding and caring to his family and friends.”

It said Jose Guzman was born on April 17, 2007 and was “excited to start his junior year of high school next week at Glenbrook South. He loved to play soccer and wanted to play professionally. He also loved to draw and was a very talented artist.”

“He was always protective, caring, and loving toward his family and friends, and died shielding his three year old nephew from gun shots,” the statement continued.

“The family is grieving the loss of their only two sons, and brothers. All donations will be used toward medical, funeral, and burial expenses. The pain of losing both sons and two siblings is insurmountable. Please pray for the Guzman family and friends as they grieve for the loss of their beloved Carlos and Jose,” the statement concludes.

No suspects were in custody as of Monday morning, and anyone with information is asked to call Cook County Sheriff’s detectives at 708-865-4896.
