Overview
- Chicago police and prosecutors charged 21-year-old Anthony Nunnally with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old, saying the killings occurred nearly a year apart.
- Reporting identifies the victims as Gabriela Arellano and Sierra Evans, but local accounts differ on which name matches which date and block, and officials have not resolved those attribution discrepancies.
- Prosecutors say Nunnally was taken into custody Monday while already jailed on unrelated felony carjacking and armed robbery charges, and he was later ordered held by a Cook County judge.
- Authorities told the court they have surveillance video and a recorded conversation from a cellmate that they say tie Nunnally to the October 26, 2025 and September 28, 2024 deaths, while defense lawyers argued the evidence is weak and contested.
- Both victims were found unresponsive from gunshot wounds in East Side neighborhood locations, and investigators have not publicly confirmed a motive or any personal links between Nunnally and the women.
