Prosecutors said during bond court that Xavier Guzman, 27, and a 16-year-old went to get Subway sandwiches after the teen shot in the direction of three gang members, striking 8-year-old Melissa Ortega.

Police said private and city pod video showed a taxicab drive up, the passenger got out, fired multiple times in the direction of three gang members and striking Melissa.

Video showed the gunman getting into the cab, which drove away. Police tracked the cab’s movements and found the 16-year old accused shooter and 27-year old Xavier Guzman, the alleged driver, along with weapons and the vehicle. Video showed the suspects stopping for sandwiches at a Subway restaurant and a gas station for drinks, prosecutors said. They drove around, even stopping by the crime scene where a memorial was placed, according to prosecutors.The fatal shooting of 8-year-old Melissa Ortega has sent shockwaves through the Little Village community. Now, there are questions about the gang rivalry that reportedly sparked the shooting.

The girl’s mother, Araceli Leanos, said in a statement released by a family representative that the two had been walking together immediately before the shooting. She said Melissa had just asked if they could get a hamburger after going to the bank when "My daughter stopped holding my hand and without explanation I found her on the floor with a puddle of blood and a bullet to her head."

Leanos said her family emigrated to Chicago from Mexico six months ago "in search of the American dream."

So, will he get a NO BAIL AND BE PLACED ON HOUSE ARREST? My heart goes out to Melissa family

Punk ass coward gang members!!!!!

These are the 'children' Tim Evans does want to give up on! Chicago give up on incompetent Judges and govt. officials.

IL needs Capital punishment!

Pendejo couldn't just get the pinche sandwiches and go home.

Looks like he could use some subway for sure . Then a little shock in a chair

So unnecessary, tragic.

Carjackings need to be mandatory 10 years in jail

Bruh they need to stop letting car jackings be a slap on the wrist

They need to start holding judges accountable. If CPS employees are held accountable for a child’s death, so should these judges that let repeat offenders out to the streets

Three carjackings in one year! The judges and the parents of the 16 y/o POS failed that lil girl. Plain and simple.
