The shooting deaths of two teenagers on Chicago’s East Side went unsolved for months, but now charges have finally been filed and a suspect is being held in the slayings.
Prosecutors and police allege the person responsible for the teens’ deaths is a man both girls had previously dated. The suspect was identified by prosecutors as 21-year-old Anthony Nunnally, who is now charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
He is currently in Cook County Jail on a carjacking charge, and on Wednesday a Cook County judge ruled during his detention hearing that Nunally will stay there until this case goes to trial.
According to Chicago police, 17-year-old Gabriella Arellano was found shot to death in the 11000 block of South Mackinaw Avenue on Oct. 26, 2025. Sierra Evans, 19, was found shot to death in the 9500 block of South Avenue N on Sept. 28, 2024, according to authorities.
Cook County prosecutors said in court they still haven’t established a motive in Sierra’s death, but when it comes to Gabriella, they allege he killed her because he feared she would betray him to other gangs.
In court, prosecutors said Nunally’s cellmate in the Cook County Jail wore a wire and recorded him talking about the shootings.
According to authorities, Nunally had several gun arrests on his record both as a minor and adult. His public defender pushed back on many of the allegations made in court, but ultimately a judge ruled he should be detained pretrial in the case.
Nunally is due back in court August 26.
