Two men were charged with the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Jonathan B. Sanchez last week in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.

Decorian Collins, 22; and Lamar Williams, 24, are both charged with first-degree murder for shooting Sanchez, according to Chicago Police.

About 11:50 p.m. Thursday, officers found Sanchez lying on the sidewalk in the 4700 block of West Huron with a gunshot wound to the head, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Collins, of the 400 block of North Long, was ordered held on a $1 million bond Sunday, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office.

Williams, who lives in the 4600 block of West Erie, had previously been charged with domestic battery in March, and was ordered held without bond Sunday.

Collins is next scheduled to appear in court Monday, while Williams is scheduled for a Tuesday hearing.
