Good afternoon, Chicago.
A 16-year-old Venezuelan migrant has been charged as an adult in the fatal stabbing of a homeless man in the Loop last weekend, Cook County court records show.
Wuinayker Rodriguez-Vasquez is one of three minors charged in the early Sunday killing of a still-unidentified 49-year-old man in the 200 block of South Wabash Avenue. Rodriguez-Vasquez was charged with first-degree murder and mob action, while his two co-defendants — both 14-year-old boys — are charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery, respectively.
