Chicago man charged with murder in crash

Authorities have filed first-degree murder charges against a Chicago man arrested in a crash that killed two women and seriously injured two others.

Police say the charges were filed Sunday against 25-year-old Joshua Enriquez after investigators learned that he allegedly rear-ended the victims' vehicle on purpose and caused it to hit a tree.

The crash on the early morning of May 3 killed 19-year-old Nicole Mijares and 22-year-old Gabriella Almanza. Both women were pronounced dead at Norwegian American Hospital shortly after the crash.
