2 accused in fatal shooting of woman on West Side

CHICAGO — Felony charges have been filed against two people accused of fatally shooting a woman on the city’s West Side in mid-September.

Chicago police say 23-year-old Gabriel Rodriguez and 24-year-old Julio Diaz, both Chicago residents, have each been charged with one count of first-degree murder.

Authorities say the charges stem from the duo’s alleged role in a deadly shooting that left a 26-year-old woman dead.

According to police, the shooting unfolded around 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 13, in the 3400 block of West Wabansia Avenue, in Humboldt Park.

Officers say they were initially called to the scene on a report of a person shot, and when they arrived, they found the woman unresponsive on the ground, suffering from a gunshot wound to her head.

She was taken to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

After identifying them as suspects in the case, authorities caught up and arrested Rodriguez and Diaz on Wednesday. They are both set to appear in court on Friday for a detention hearing.

It remains unclear what led up to the shooting, and authorities have not yet identified the victim killed.
