A 38-year-old illegal alien has been charged with reckless homicide and aggravated DUI in a hit-and-run crash that killed a bicyclist in the Pilsen neighborhood early Tuesday morning.

At about 12:50 a.m., police said Ramirez struck a 30-year-old bicyclist near the intersection of 18th and Carpenter streets before fleeing the scene.
The bicyclist, identified by authorities as Fredrick Kobrick, of the 1700 block of South Desplaines Street, was rushed to Stroger Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Ramirez, of the 500 block of West Walton Street, was taken into custody a short distance from the crash site. Police didn't provide his blood-alcohol level.
