Skooter reporting 02/10/12
An alleged gang member was convicted today by a Cook County jury of murder for smashing a car into an SUV and causing it to crash, leaving one dead and injuring seven other teens.
The driver Shalimar Santiago, 30, erroneously thought that rival gang members were in the SUV who had shot at him earlier that night in August 2009. Aside from murder, Santiago was also convicted on seven counts of aggravated battery for the injuries suffered to the other seven passengers.
Killed in the incident was Stephanie Herrera, a student at University of Illinois at Chicago who aspired to be a doctor.
