Fundraiser started for Glenview brothers shot to death

A GoFundMe fundraiser has been established for the family of Carlos Guzman and Jose Guzman, Glenview residents and brothers both shot and killed Saturday.

Carlos Guzman, 19, and Jose Guzman, 16, died from gunshot wounds fired about 9:06 p.m. Saturday on the 10400 block of Michael Todd Terrace, Cook County sheriff's officials said.

Both victims lived in the complex.

Carlos and Jose were the sons of Carlos and Azucena Guzman and younger brothers to Anette and Andrea Guzman.

Anette Guzman, who set up the GoFundMe fundraiser, said Carlos worked for UPS and graduated from Glenbrook South in 2022. Jose Guzman was an incoming junior at Glenbrook South.

The Cook County medical examiner said Jose Guzman was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:22 p.m. The office ruled the death a homicide.

Carlos Guzman was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge where he later was pronounced dead, officials said.

On the GoFundMe page, Anette Guzman said Jose Guzman was shot while shielding a 3-year-old nephew from gunshots.

Anette Guzman wrote donations gained through the fund will go toward medical, funeral and burial expenses.

As of about noon Monday, 358 donors, many anonymous, had raised $18,662 toward a $50,000 goal.
