Chicago Teen Charged in Six 2020 Serial Murders

Antonio Reyes, now 21, is accused of randomly targeting victims on the city's Southwest Side and faces additional charges while already in custody for a separate murder.

Antonio Reyes, who was 16 and 17 at the time of the alleged crimes, has been charged with six murders and four attempted murders from 2020 in Chicago.
The attacks were described as random, with victims having no known connection to Reyes; one victim was killed while buying a puppy with his family.
Reyes has been in custody since December 2020 for the murder of Luis Davalos Garcia and is also accused of stabbing a cellmate in 2022 while in jail.
Key evidence in the investigation included linking a recovered .40-caliber handgun to multiple shootings and Reyes' social media activity to the crimes.
Chicago police and prosecutors emphasized the brutality of the crimes and the extensive efforts to connect Reyes to the killings over four years of investigation.
