Three people who were arrested last week in connection with the deadly shooting of a Villa Park teen were released without charges, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said on Wednesday.
Bellwood police said 16-year-old Alejandro Garcia died on the afternoon of Oct. 20 after officers found him with a gunshot wound during a response to a report they received around 3:21 p.m. of a man who was shot and thrown out of car on the 100 block of 22nd Avenue. Garcia was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
Police said in a press release the day of the incident that three people were in custody and multiple witnesses were being interviewed. The following day, police said search warrants were executed, and the three people were still in custody.
However, a week later, the three suspects were released after CCSAO determined that evidence presented by law enforcement was not sufficient to meet the burden of proof necessary to file criminal charges.
“The CCSAO recognizes the significant impact that acts of violence have on victims, their families and our communities. After an extensive review of all available information presented by law enforcement regarding this incident, the CCSAO determined that the evidence did not meet the burden of proof required to file criminal charges,” CCSAO said in a statement. “All charging decisions are guided by the law, the facts and our responsibility to pursue justice with integrity.”
