CHICAGO — Two men have been indicted on federal racketeering charges in connection with the 2021 murder of a 19-year-old military service member on the city’s Northwest Side.

Prosecutors allege 40-year-old Gary Roberson and 41-year-old Joseph Matos murdered National Guardsman Chrys Carvajal on July 3 to maintain and increase their positions in a Milwaukee Kings street gang.

Officers arrested Roberson in May. He remains detained after pleading not guilty to his charges. Matos remains a fugitive.

Carvajal was home visiting family when he was fatally shot in Belmont Cragin. His family told WGN News he was at a party near Beldin and Lockwood and had gone to his car when someone drove by and opened fire.

Murder in aid of racketeering is punishable by a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Carvajal was just days away from turning 20 prior to his death.
