Father, Son Jewelers in Chicago Victims in Double Homicide
JSA and Cook County Crime Stoppers are both offering rewards for information leading to the arrest of the suspect or suspects involved.
Faustino Alamo Dominguez, left, and his son, Luis Angel Alamo, were gunned down outside their Chicago jewelry store, Joyeria Angelo’s, following an armed robbery Saturday night.
Chicago—A father and son who owned a jewelry store in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood were shot to death over the weekend following an armed robbery at their store.
According to Cook County Crime Stoppers, the crime happened at about 6 p.m. on Saturday at a business, Joyeria Angelo’s, near 26th Street and Springfield Avenue.
A man wearing a Chicago Blackhawks hoodie and what looks like a Blackhawks jersey entered the store, brandished a gun and demanded merchandise before quickly exiting with the stolen items.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shared with ABC 7 in Chicago shows one man follow the suspect out into the middle of the street, fight with him and then pursue him down the street.
Another man emerges from the business and runs after them both.
When they reached the corner of Springfield Avenue, the suspect pulled out a gun and shot both men, identified by officials as 63-year-old Faustino Alamo Dominguez and 25-year-old Luis Angel Alamo, both of the Chicago suburb of Berwyn.
The suspect then fled the scene in a white Maserati SUV, heading south on Springfield, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
JSA Executive Vice President Scott Guginsky said these are the first two industry homicides of 2025.
He also noted that in the past decade, the industry has had only one other homicide involving multiple victims, the December 2016 murders of 81-year-old Bill Mosley, owner of Bill’s Pawn Jewelry Coin/Stamp Exchange in Jackson, Mississippi, and his two employees, 60-year-old Robert Ivy and 70-year-old Ted McLemore.
“This is very unusual that two jewelers are killed at the same time,” Guginsky said.
