Federal prosecutors have taken on a case regarding the 2021 murder of a National Guardsman in Chicago after Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office refused to charge a gang member in the killing.
Nearly three years after Cook County prosecutors refused to charge a man with murdering a young National Guardsman on the Fourth of July, federal prosecutors have stepped in to charge him federally.Law enforcement asked for charges to be brought in the case, but prosecutors claimed there was insufficient evidence to do so and said the officers needed to have more proof. As a result, no one was ever charged with the killing.
Carvajal had stepped away from the family gathering to get something from his car around 1:20 a.m. on July 4, 2021, when someone shot and killed him in the 2200 block of North Lockwood, officials said at the time. Although police reportedly had video footage, knew of eyewitnesses, and claimed the suspect’s car and phone were at the scene or nearby it when the murder occurred, those things were apparently not enough to move forward with the case.GARY ROBERSON, 40, and JOSEPH MATOS, 41, both of Chicago, are charged with racketeering and firearm offenses in an indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Chicago.
