Cicero Police and Illinois State police announce murder charges against two suspects in three homicides

Officials of the Cicero Police and the Illinois State police said they have formally charged two individuals, an adult and a juvenile, with First Degree Murder involving two separate incidents where three people were killed.

Joseph Guzman, 20, a Cicero resident, was charged with two counts of First Degree Murder charged in the shooting and killing on Sept. 28, 2021 at around 11:38 PM of the driver and passenger of a vehicle on the Stevenson Expressway near Wentworth Avenue.

The State Police have not released the names or details of the two deceased victims in the vehicle. Both victims were 21 years of age.

Guzman, accompanied by a 17-year-old juvenile accomplice, both known street gang members, were driving in the area of Cicero and Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood seeking rival gang members on October 24, 2021 and were armed with multiple firearms.

Guzman and the juvenile drove to the 2800 block of 50th Court and observed a man, Joshua Gonzalez, 26, and, without provocation, shot him numerous times.

Both Guzman and the juvenile were charged with First Degree murder in the killing of Joshua Gonzalez. The 17-year-old has been charged as an adult, police said.

 

 

On April 27, 2022, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office approved two counts of First-Degree Murder against Guzman.  On April 28, 2022, Guzman was issued no bond and is currently being held at Cook County Jail.

The juvenile offender is being held on a $10 million cash bond and has not been released.
