A 22-year-old Lindenhurst man was arrested Tuesday and charged with the murder of a 38-year-old man who was fatally shot while in a vehicle in Chicago, police said.
The Chicago Police Department said a 38-year-old man was sitting in a vehicle on June 16 in the 5000 block of West Altgeld Street in Chicago.
A black Audi SUV pulled up and an occupant fired shots, striking the 38-year-old victim.
Paramedics transported the victim to Loyola Hospital in critical condition.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office reported that the victim died in the hospital the same day.
The victim was identified as Steve Renteria, 38, of Chicago, according to the medical examiner’s office.
Renteria died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds, an autopsy showed.
Police say they identified Anthony Jacobson, 22, of Lindenhurst, as one of the offenders who participated in the shooting.
Jacobson was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated battery of a peace officer, possession of a stolen vehicle, two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a controlled substance and possession of cannabis with intent to deliver.
Officers arrested him in the 6000 block of West Addison Avenue in Chicago on Tuesday.
Officers found Jacobson was possessing a stolen vehicle and illegally possessing a gun, which had been converted to a machine gun.
Jacobson was found with 15-100 grams of cocaine and 30-500 grams of cannabis.
He is scheduled to appear in bond court on Thursday.
