Jimmy Medina Convicted in Carpentersville Tragedy | Chicago News

Jimmy Medina just got convicted of first-degree murder and attempted murder in the tragic October 2020 shooting in Carpentersville that killed 17-year-old Anthony Aragon and wounded two others. The incident erupted when Medina, in a car with his cousin, allegedly opened fire on another vehicle after passing it — bullets struck Aragon in the back of the head, fatally, and injured two others. This devastating case, driven by relentless police and prosecutorial work, brings closure to a community shattered by loss. Medina now faces a combined sentence of up to 60 years for murder and 30 years for attempted murder — with 85% of the attempted murder term mandatory. He’s locked up in Kane County jail, awaiting sentencing on August 26th at 1:30 PM. Justice may be served, but the scars on victims’ families will linger.
