Bond was denied Friday for a man charged with inadvertently killing a 23-year-old Lauren Membreno in a West Elsdon neighborhood shooting earlier this month.
Giovanni Garcia, 20, faces one count of first-degree murder for the April 8 attack in the 5500 block of South Karlov, according to Chicago Police.
Membreno was in the front passenger seat of a parked car about 7 p.m. when Garcia pulled up in another vehicle and opened fire, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
A police source said Garcia had been aiming for Membreno’s boyfriend, who was in the driver seat.
