Man charged in March killing of 15-year-old Chicago boy

CHICAGO (AP) - An Evanston man has been charged in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old Chicago boy found dead in an alley last March.

A judge on Sunday ordered Eric Gunn, 21, held without bail. He's charged with one felony count of first-degree murder in the death of Esteban Luvianos, Chicago police said in a statement.

Gunn was taken into custody Friday in suburban Lincolnwood, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Luvianos was found in an alley in Bowmanville on Chicago's North Side on March 16 with a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. The youth, who was an Amundsen High School student, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ald. Andre Vasquez said in a letter to constituents at the time of Luvianos' killing that his death 'Å“is a painful reminder that gun violence is all too present in all our communities, and knows no political or municipal boundaries."
