Two weeks ago, Lamar Baker beat murder and attempted murder charges in a 2017 shooting that left one man dead and another wounded.
On Thursday, the 20-year-old man described by Cook County prosecutors as an “enforcer” for the Latin Kings, was charged with the 2016 killing of a 37-year-old man in Little Village.
Baker was in jail while awaiting his trial earlier this month for allegedly gunning down Hugo Guevara and wounding David Martinez in a January 2017 shooting. On May 2, he was acquitted of those charges. On May 3, an arrest warrant was issued for Baker — who remained jailed because of pending charges for allegedly attacking a man in the Cook County Jail last June — for the murder of Arturo Peña in April 2016.
