Chicago – A 21-year-old Chicago man allegedly used a “large machete” to slash his co-worker to death at an auto body shop before stuffing the body in the trunk of a Cadillac on the city’s Northwest Side, prosecutors said Friday.
Cook County Judge Susana L. Ortiz ordered Martin O. Molina held without bail during a court hearing that was livestreamed on YouTube after what she called an “extremely violent and extremely vicious” random attack of 42-year-old Felipe Villalobos-Calderon.
Molina was charged Thursday with murder in the death of Portage Park resident Villalobos-Calderon, whose body was found inside the trunk of a Cadillac parked on the street in the city’s Belmont Central neighborhood, police said.
