Both suspects are charged with first-degree murder and aggravated vehicular hijacking, among other charges. Police have not released the 17-year-old’s name, because he is a minor.<\/p>\n

The two allegedly carried out two murders and multiple carjackings on Wednesday, Feb. 11.<\/p>\n

Police said it all started when the suspects carjacked and fatally shot a man in the Lakeview neighborhood’s 700-block of West Waveland just before 4 a.m.<\/p>\n

Darwin Tirado, 22, was the man shot and killed, family members say. Another man inside the car, a 38-year-old, was not injured.<\/p>\n

Less than one hour later, the suspects shot and killed 45-year-old Damon Kellum in the Oakland neighborhood’s 3700-block of South Lake Park Avenue, officials said.<\/p>\n

Police said the suspects also tried to take a vehicle at gunpoint from a 70-year-old man in the Fuller Park neighborhood’s 4200-block of South Wentworth Avenue.<\/p>\n

The suspects then carjacked a 38-year-old man in the West Chatham neighborhood’s 8600-block of South Lafayette Avenue just before 5:15 a.m., police said.<\/p>\n

Police said Hill is also charged in connection with a Jan. 10 carjacking. It happened in the West Rogers Park neighborhood’s 7500-block of North Claremont Avenue around 4 a.m.<\/p>\n

Hill is due in court on Saturday.<\/p>\n
