Following a thorough investigation, Lake County Task Force Investigators and North Chicago Detectives determined that suspect Carlos D. Marchan, 25, of the 1000 block of Jackson Street, North Chicago, is responsible for shooting and killing Carl P. Marder-Grant in a residential neighborhood of single-family homes near Victoria Avenue and 17th Street in North Chicago.
Investigators determined Marchan opened fire on a group of individuals standing outside of a residence in the 1600 block of Victoria Avenue. Marder-Grant was struck and killed by one of the rounds.
After reviewing all of the facts and evidence, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the charge of first-degree murder against Marchan.
Marchan will appear this morning at an initial court appearance. The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office intends to file a petition to detain Marchan in custody while awaiting trial.
Based on the circumstances and evidence, it is believed this shooting was gang related.
All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
