Murder charges filed in case of long-missing man

First-degree murder charges have been filed against an alleged Chicago street gang member in connection with the death of an Oak Lawn man who went missing four years ago.

Daniel Nevarez is charged in the death of 25-year-old Eric Kaminski, whose body was found December 28, buried in the basement of a building in the Pilsen neighborhood.

Authorities say they could not immediately provide a motive for the killing, but said Nevarez was scheduled to appear for a bond hearing Friday, when more information may be made public.

Officials found Kaminski's body under 6 feet of concrete and limestone after receiving a tip. The body was identified with the help of dental records. An autopsy determined he had been shot multiple times.

At the time of his disappearance, Oak Lawn police suspected that drugs may have been a factor.
