<p>ROCKFORD — Charges have been filed against a man who is accused of carrying out a stabbing rampage killing four people, including a mail carrier and a 15-year-old girl, and injuring seven others, authorities said Thursday. </p><p>Christian I. Soto, 22, of Rockford, was charged with murder, attempted murder and home invasion in connection with the attack Wednesday, Winnebago County State's Attorney J. Hanley announced during a nearly 45-minute briefing at midday Thursday. </p><p>Soto was scheduled to appear in court Thursday afternoon, Hanley said. </p><p>Officials identified the victims as Ramona Schupbach, 63; Jacob Schupbach, 23; Jay Larson, 49; and Jenna Newcomb, 15, according to <a class="Link" href="https://www.wifr.com/2024/03/28/live-officials-release-details-rockford-stabbing-attack/" target="_blank" >Rockford radio station WIFR</a>.</p><p>Larson was a 25-year postal service veteran, said Ruth Mendoza, of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service during the briefing. </p><p>"This tragedy occurred while he was doing his job," Mendoza said. "Jay was doing what he loved, serving his community."</p><p>During a sometimes emotional speech, Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara announced the names of the dead.</p><p>“Jenna’s mom wants the community to know that Jenna died saving her sister and her friend and protecting them from further harm,” the mayor said.</p><p>“These are dark days but we are Rockfordians and we will get through this,” the mayor said, adding people need to lift each other up and keep together. </p><p>"Be kind to your neighbors and be thoughtful with words," McNamara said haltingly, appearing to choke up. "If the last couple of days doesn't show you ... life is just far too short to speak hate."</p><p>Rockford Police Chief Carla Redd said earlier one person who was wounded remained in critical condition.</p><p>“My heart goes out to the families right now that are suffering a loss,” Redd told reporters earlier.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

One of the good Samaritans stopped to help her out. He did get some stab wounds. He is being checked out.”</p><p>Resident Eric Patterson said he was struggling to make sense of the violence on his street.</p><p>“You can’t rationalize this,” Patterson told the Rockford Register Star earlier. “It’s almost like playing a video game, but it’s reality. It makes no sense. It’s like Grand Theft Auto. ‘I’m going to run over the mailman here. I’m going to stab a couple people there. I am going to go in this house over here.’"</p><p>Another resident, Vanessa Hy, told WREX-TV in Rockford that the experience of witnessing the arrest was unreal, “like a movie."</p><p>“All of the sudden, we heard police run up on both sides of the house screaming ‘Stop!

<p>Cases of the disease have soared this year, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting 64 measles cases in the U.S. as of March 21. The agency reported 58 cases in all of 2023.</p><p>Symptoms including high fever, cough, runny nose, and red or watery eyes can emerge within a week or two of exposure to the virus, according to the CDC. A rash can appear three to five days after initial symptoms begin.</p><p>The "highly infectious" virus is <a class="Link" href="https://www.cdc.gov/measles/transmission.html#:~:text=Measles%20is%20so%20contagious%20that,days%20after%20the%20rash%20appears." target="_blank" >spread</a> through coughing, sneezing or contact with an infected person, and the virus can live for up to two hours in the air after an infected person has left a space, according to the CDC. Those with the virus can spread it up to four days before and after a rash appears, and 90% of people without immunity who are exposed to the virus become infected.</p><p>Health officials say vaccination is the key way to avoid getting measles and spreading it.</p><p>A CDC team has been assisting the city in responding to the infections.</p><bsp-listcarousel class="PageListE" data-module data-column-count=4 data-hide-descriptions="true"

<p>A Chicago police officer was wounded and a 26-year-old man was killed in an exchange of gunfire Thursday evening in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the West Side.</p><p>Gunfire erupted while officers were near a car they pulled over at about 6 p.m. in the 3800 block of West Ferdinand Street, Chicago police said in a statement.</p><p>The wounded officer was shot in the wrist and was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition. Four other officers who weren’t shot were hospitalized for observation, police said.</p><p>Dexter Reed suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:32 p.m., police and the Cook County medical examiner's office said. </p><p>Several officers fired their weapons, and the other person's gun was apparently emptied, according to preliminary information from a law enforcement source.</p><p>More than 50 rounds were picked up by the <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/02/27/shotspotter-deal-could-be-invalid-should-get-city-council-vote-ex-watchdog-says" >ShotSpotter gunshot-detection system</a>, according to records shared with the Sun-Times.</p><p>Parts of the shooting were captured during frantic police radio transmissions: "Shots fired," an officer screamed. "I'm shot! I'm shot!"</p><p>"We have an officer shot in the arm," a dispatcher radioed minutes later. "They have a tourniquet applied."</p><p>Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling addressed the shooting at a meeting of the Chicago Police Board later Thursday, saying he hoped the officer makes a speedy recovery.</p><p>“They are out there working hard, trying to keep the streets safe, and as a result of that was injured," Snelling said. "But the officer, it sounds like, will be OK.”</p><p>The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating the shooting. Anyone with information should call 312-746-3609.</p><p><i>Contributing: Emmanuel Camarillo</i></p>

<p>Waukegan City Clerk Janet Kilkelly faces felony charges of official misconduct and misapplication of funds in connection with providing credits to businesses that were applying for liquor and gambling licenses.</p><p>A 15-count indictment was returned Wednesday alleging Kilkelly gave thousands of dollars in credits to businesses that did not qualify for the financial support, the Lake County state’s attorney’s office said.</p><p>Kilkelly’s office and the Waukegan City Council had “repeatedly established” that the credits would solely go to businesses that were considered to be in “good standing,” the state’s attorney’s office said.</p><p>The charges were filed following an Illinois State Police investigation that began last year.</p><p>Waukegan Mayor Ann Taylor said in a statement she was “disappointed” to learn of the charges.</p><p>“While I firmly believe in our justice system and due process, as mayor, I also know that having a multi-count felony indictment is a considerable distraction to the duties of the clerk’s office and incompatible with the best interests of Waukegan’s residents and businesses. It is my hope that Clerk Kilkelly puts the interests of Waukeganites first,” Taylor said.</p><p>Taylor added that she plans to confer with the City Council to determine if any action is needed “to ensure that the duties of the clerk’s office continue to be performed and the public-facing services of that office continue to be provided to Waukegan residents.”</p><p>Kilkelly, a Democrat, was elected city clerk in 2017.</p><p>Kilkelly could not be reached for comment. She is due in court April 2.</p>

</div><p>The ongoing investigation has led to federal criminal charges against three bank board members, including John Gembara’s sister, <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/8/2/23817357/bridgeport-bank-failure-washington-federal-bank-savings-janice-weston" >Janice Weston</a>; six bank employees and seven customers, including Matczuk and then <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2022/8/26/23322839/patrick-daley-thompson-long-rise-hard-fall" >Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson</a>, who represented the Bridgeport neighborhood on the City Council.</p><p>In the San Diego case, Alvarez made multiple online searches leading up to the shooting — including “how to shoot someone in self-defense,” and “how to kill your ex’s fiancee,” according to the San Diego County district attorney’s office. Prosecutors say Alvarez waited outside Fierro’s home for nearly an hour on the day of the shooting.</p><p>Prosecutors alleged Alvarez was obsessed with Amy Gembara after she broke off their relationship, showing up at her home, trying to contact her through others, turning up while she was at Disneyland. He got a job in the school cafeteria but was escorted off campus when staffers recognized him from a school security flyer, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.</p>

<p>President Joe Biden painted an optimistic future for the country and made his case for a second term <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/washington/2024/03/08/joe-biden-state-of-the-union-congress-washington-israel-hamas-ukraine-healthcare-jobs-money-election" >during his State of the Union address on Thursday</a>, and some Chicago-area voters who spoke with the Sun-Times thought the speech set him up for reelection in the fall.</p><p>Biden was not afraid to take Republicans to task and often relished opportunities to take aim at them, something that impressed Jacob Drews, 19, an Oak Park resident and political science student at Columbia University in New York.</p><p>“I think he looks very strong,” Drews said. “Everyone’s always talking about his age, he’s unfit for office or he can’t give a speech, but there’s been very few gaffes.</p><p>“Overall, I think it’s a very good performance, and it’s putting to rest a lot of the things about his age. He clearly has the mental capacity to do this job,” Drews said.</p><p>Maria Bandriwsky, a Wicker Park resident who is on the board of the American Ukrainian Youth Association, applauded Biden for beginning his speech by calling for additional aid to Ukraine as its war with Russia has passed two years. She called it a “very strong message about Ukraine.</p><p>“We don’t want to have our soldiers to go out and put their lives at risk,” Bandriwsky said. “We want this war to be over as soon as possible, and it can be over if Ukraine receives this additional funding and if it receives the necessary weapons to stop the war.”</p><p>Bandriwsky added that Biden has “proved over and over again that he is capable” of remaining in office, “and that he can do what he says he will.”</p><p>Drews also thought Biden’s mentioning of the Jan. 6 insurrection was important “for voters to not forget that.”</p><p>“I know that was four years ago, and I know people say we’ve got to move on, but I think it’s very important to keep that in the conversation, and I’m glad he mentioned it,” said Drews, who said he planned to vote for Biden in the general election.</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>Erin Julseth, 56, of Geneva, said she also plans to vote for Biden but said it’s a choice of “the lesser of two evils.”</p><p>She thought Thursday’s speech did not necessarily help or hurt Biden’s case for reelection, but said he appeared to be “too old to be running for president.”</p><p>“I think we’re kind of just standing in the same position. There’s nothing about his speech as far as issues that I disagree with, but I think in his delivery that he’s just too old to be the next president,” Julseth said.</p><p>Biden promised to restore Roe v. Wade, which was reversed by the Supreme Court in 2022, ending the constitutional right to an abortion that has stood since 1973.</p><p>Marla, a Glenview resident who asked to only be identified by her first name, hailed Biden’s promise.</p><p>“I hope and pray that they can pass a bill to allow IVF to be across the land a law, so individual states can’t turn it down,” Marla said.</p><p>She added that Biden appeared to be forceful in his speech.</p><p>“He’s saying what I want to hear him say. I thought one of the comments he made, which was great, is, ‘You can’t love your country only when you win.’ I thought that was fabulous.”</p><div class="RichTextSidebarModule Enhancement" data-module data-align-center><a class="AnchorLink" id="module-060000" name="module-060000"></a>

<p>Jeremy “Jermo” Smith could be seen almost every day playing basketball at the South Side YMCA in Woodlawn.</p><p>That’s where dozens gathered earlier this week to release balloons in remembrance of Jeremy, 17, who was killed in a shooting last weekend in the South Loop that also wounded a 15-year-old boy. Jeremy was among a massive crowd of young people, described in a police report as a “teen trend” event that had been promoted on social media.</p><p>“He had his ways, you know, typical teenager, but he was no person to start fights,” said his stepfather, Hashim Bailey.</p><p>Officers were on the scene monitoring the gathering when they responded to a shooting just after 8 p.m. Saturday in the <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/03/03/person-in-custody-in-south-loop-shooting-that-killed-1-wounded-teen" target="_blank" >500 block of West Roosevelt Road</a>, Chicago police said.</p><p>Jeremy suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.</p><p>A 14-year-old boy was arrested near the shooting scene but was released from custody days later without being charged, according to police.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div><p>It’s not clear what led to the gunfire, but Bailey said Jeremy had no history of trouble.</p><p>“He was no criminal,” Bailey said. “He was just learning life. He was a popular dude, likable dude.”</p><p>Many others conveyed that feeling about Jeremy at the vigil, as his friends shared stories and fond memories of him while fighting tears.</p><p>“Jermo, this was like a real genuine person. … You could just meet him tomorrow and y’all have a real strong bond because that’s the type of person he was,” one friend said.</p><p>Jeremy dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player, but if that didn’t work out, Bailey saw his stepson having a bright future in technology.</p><p>Bailey came into Jeremy’s life when the boy was 12 years old and became a father figure who pushed him to stay focused on school and taught him about trade schools and other paths after high school. Jeremy was a junior at Ombudsman Chicago South Alternative School.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

Later, he was the “technical support” for the household, fixing internet and computer issues, Bailey said.</p><p>His relationships with his younger siblings, a 4-year-old sister and 8-year-old brother, involved the typical big-brother, little-sibling bickering, but ultimately, “it was a bond,” Bailey said, adding that he loved playing Xbox with his brother, M.J. Anderson.</p><p>Bailey started a <a class="Link" href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/memorial-for-jeremy-smith" target="_blank" >fundraiser</a> to help cover funeral costs.</p><p>As Jeremy’s godmother, Raven Parker, comforted one of his friends after the group released balloons Wednesday, she told the dozens of teens, “Y’all gotta live your lives now because he can’t.”</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>
