CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago man was charged with his second murder after allegedly bragging on Facebook that his gun “had bodies on it.”
The Cook County state’s attorney’s office says 20-year-old Julius Thomas III was indicted last week in the Feb. 2 death of 19-year-old Andres Damian-Salgado. Thomas was already being held without bond in the March 2 fatal shooting of 30-year-old Diviris Garfeed.
Prosecutors allege that it was after the shooting of Garfeed that Thomas claimed on Facebook Live, while trying to sell a gun, that it had two bodies on it. Prosecutors say Thomas’ arraignment is set for May 5.
