Jamar L. Robinson has been charged with first-degree murder in last week's shooting death of Jorge Sanchez in Carpentersville.

The Kane County state's attorney's office announced felony charges on Monday for Robinson, 29, of Chicago, in relation to Thursday's shooting in the 0-99 block of Oxford Road in Carpentersville. Sanchez, 30, died from multiple gunshot wounds suffered at the Foxview Apartment Complex, according to the state's attorney's office.
