The daylight home invasion happened at around 8:40 a.m. Tuesday in the 3400 block ofNorthLawndale Avenue in the city's Avondale neighborhood, according to Chicago police.
The suspects, Sean Williams, 33, Davonta Williams, 17, and Jennifer M. Vojinovic, 27, were each charged with single counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery, home invasion, and three counts of unlawful restraint, police said.
All three were arrested by alertAlbany Park District officers, who spotted the vehicle matching the plate information provided by a witness, police said. Authorities also recovered 9mm and .25-caliber handguns.
Police believe that both male suspects shot Andre Vasquez along with his Krystal Hethcoat, 33, while Vojinovic acted as the getaway driver.
According to relatives of the victims, Vasquez, a Schurz High School sophomore, and his 14-year-old sister were preparing to leave for school and one of them had just opened the apartment's front door when two males barged in.
The intruders bound Vasquez and Hethcoat in the home's basement, while the teen's sister managed to escape.
Police said the intruders bound the mother and son with duct tape while demanding money. The pair ransacked the home before shooting both Vasquez and Hethcoat.
Vasquez, was pronounced dead at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center just hours after he was shot, authorities said. His mother was in serious-to-critical condition at Illinois Masonic as of Tuesday night.
"This is unreal," Tina Quinones, an aunt of Vasquez and his sister told the Tribune. "I don't understand why this would happen. They don't have anything. There was no reason for this."
Police offered no clues on why the home was targeted by the group.
All three suspects are expected to appear before a judge later today.
