The news media or government won't tell us if the criminal or their victims are illegal aliens, so every time we see a Hispanic name we are going to assume they are illegal aliens.
A 36-year-old man already charged in connection with two drug-related slayings on the North Side is now accused of participating in four more murders last year.
Raul Segura-Rodriguez of the 3000 block of South Keeler Avenue was charged tonight with first-degree murder in the slayings of four men in a Southwest Side garage last year, said Cook County state's attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin.
Those victims were found slain near West 61st Street and South Kildare Avenue on Sept. 2, 2010. They were: 25-year-old Noel Casares, 30-year-old Louis Santella, 30-year-old Roberto Rivera and Alonzo Pena-Villareal, 32.
Segura-Rodriguez already was being held in the Cook County Jail on murder charges, stemming from the slayings of two other men on the North Side on Feb. 26.
Law enforcement sources have said that Segura-Rodriguez and Augustin Toscano, who is also charged in the February slayings, were part of a crew involved in drug trafficking, but also robbed and killed some its potential buyers.
The crew was led by Arturo Ibarra, who was also involved in those slayings, sources have said.
On the day of the February slayings, Ibarra, Segura-Rodriguez and Toscano were under surveillance when they were seen entering an apartment building in the 5800 block of North Winthrop Avenue. Police said it was there where the trio slit the throats of three men, killing two of them.
While trying to make good on their escape, Ibarra, Segura-Rodriguez and Toscano about a block away were involved in a shootout with Chicago police, which left one officer wounded in the leg, police said. The trio led police on a pursuit for about a mile, before their vehicle crashed and Ibarra was shot and killed by officers.
Sources have said the trio could be connected to as many as a dozen killings. But Toscano has only been charged in connection with the ones in February.
Segura-Rodriguez is scheduled to appear for a bond hearing Thursday
