Two Charged With 2014 Little Village Murder
CHICAGO (STMW) -- A 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man have been charged with fatally shooting a man last November in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
Jacob Morales, 18, and the boy are charged with first-degree murder for the Nov. 28, 2014 shooting, a statement from police said.
About 11:00 p.m., Morales and the boy approached 18-year-old Oscar Garcia in the 3600 block of West 25th Street and started talking to him, police and the Cook County medical examiner's office said. One of the suspects then pulled out a handgun and fired shots, striking Garcia under the right eye.
Garcia, who lived in the 2800 block of South Millard, was dead at the scene, authorities said.
Morales and the boy were both expected to appear in bond court Thursday, police said.
