Attempted murder charges were filed against a Chicago man accused of shooting a state trooper this week in Springfield - days after he allegedly fatally shot his ex-girlfriend outside her Garfield Ridge home, according to police and her family.
The charges, including two counts each of attempted murder and aggravated battery to a police officer, were filed Thursday in downstate Sangamon County against Cristobal Santana, 37. He also faces a count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
Family of Adrianna Lopez, 37, who was killed Sunday night outside her home, say Santana is her ex-boyfriend and had recently shown signs of violence against her. The trooper and Santana, who was injured during his arrest, remained hospitalized Thursday evening, according to state police. Lopez's family alleges Santana "was there waiting for her" when she and a male friend returned about 9:30 p.m. Sunday to her home in the 5400-block of South Narragansett Avenue. Gunshots were fired from an SUV, striking Lopez more than 10 times, police said.
