A 16-year-old former student who had been expelled from Benito Juarez High School was denied bail Saturday on charges in a mass shooting in December on the school’s campus in Pilsen.
Cook County prosecutors said Acevedo had been expelled earlier that school year for behavioral, academic and attendance issues.
Acevedo is a documented member of the "Bishops" street gang and that Billegas was affiliated with another street gang. A witness took a photo of Acevedo holding a gun and standing over one of the victims, prosecutors said. Multiple people, including a Chicago police officer who had previous encounters with Acevedo, allegedly identified him as the shooter in the surveillance footage.
Acevedo also faces charges in juvenile court, including felony counts of aggravated discharge on school grounds and other weapons charges, officials said.
