Chicago prosecutor declines to charge 'dangerous' Colombian migrant in shooting death of 17-year-old
Fox News
Cook Count State’s Attorney Kim Foxx declined to pursue charges against a Colombian migrant previously connected to the death of 17-year-old Stephanie Lopez Ramirez.
ICE shared with Fox News it placed a detainer on Ramirez-Olivo last Thursday after he was arrested for first-degree murder and taken into custody on Saturday. Matt Finn currently serves as a Los Angeles based correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He began working with FNC in 2013 as part of the Junior Reporter program based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Chicago Police pushed for Olivo to be charged with involuntary manslaughter; Foxx’s office went to bond court last Friday afternoon and repealed the charges, citing "insufficient evidence" to Fox News.A CPD source says a police chief assigned to this case was not happy with Foxx’s decision and was pressing for Olivo to be charged.
"If they want to say that it was a complete accident and it wasn’t reckless then minimally charge him with the weapon that he admitted to illegally purchasing," the CPD source told Fox News. "No one thinks it’s legal to purchase a gun off a guy on the street. Plus, he shouldn’t even have a weapon."
