Accused serial killer Antonio Reyes was on juvenile probation and had multiple felony cases pending when he allegedly killed at least 6 people at random during 2020.

A man accused of being a serial rapist in suburban St. Louis may have attacked many more victims in other parts of the country, including Chicago, where he spent a month in 2022, officials announced.

Illinois politicians outlawed life sentences without parole for juveniles, but they did not make the change retroactive. Now, men sentenced under the old laws are hoping for change.

A man paroled in September after serving half of a 60-year sentence he received for sexually assaulting a 7-year-old at a Chicago children’s hospital is now accused of trying to murder his girlfriend in January.

The man responsible for making a threat that forced officials to close the Leighton Criminal Courthouse at 26th and California last month was on pretrial release for making threats and identifying himself as various public officials in 2021 and 2023, according to court records. In fact, arrest warrants were out in three cases because he stopped showing up for court over a year ago.
