COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — Prosecutors have charged two men in a 2015 car-wash shooting that left one man dead and two wounded.
Miguel Wilson, 26, and Jarell Miller, 22, are being held without bail on charges of first-degree murder in the Austin attack, which took place in the 1100 block of North Cicero Avenue.
According to prosecutors, 24-year-old William Carter and several witnesses were standing outside a Mobil gas station and car wash about 6 p.m. Aug. 24, 2015, waiting for one man's van to be vacuumed.
Miller came around the front of the van just as Wilson walked around the back, Assistant State's Attorney Kristin Estrada said during a bond hearing Tuesday.
Both men opened fire, prosecutors said — fatally shooting Carter in his upper back, chest, elbow and shoulder. Carter briefly ran south after the shooting but soon returned to the car wash, where he collapsed.
A witness standing outside was shot in his face and hand but survived, prosecutors said. The car-wash employee who'd been vacuuming the van was shot in his arm and survived.
Two children, ages 7 and 10, were playing about 10 feet from the van when the shooting occurred, Estrada said.
The entire incident was captured on surveillance footage, according to authorities, and multiple witnesses were able to identify Wilson and Miller as the shooters.
Cook County Judge James Brown denied both men bail.
