Prosecutors on Monday charged 20-year-old Alvin Thomas with two counts of first-degree murder for the shooting deaths of 36-year-old Huayi Bian and 38-year-old Weizhon Xiong in a parking lot on the 2000 block of South Wells around 2:13 a.m. Sunday.
Responding police officers tracked Thomas down by following a set of bloody footprints from the crime scene to the 2100 block of South Archer, according to an officer who is familiar with the case.
In August 2018, Police arrested Thomas, 19-year-old Herbert Sanderfer, and 22-year-old Dijon Williams near the Belmont Red Line station.
A grand jury indicted all of the men on counts of robbery, aggravated battery, and unlawful restraint.
But prosecutors gave the best deal to Thomas. He received a sentence of just two years probation. He was also given credit for time served while awaiting trial, although most of that time was served on electronic monitoring and not in jail.
Thomas is due in bond court Tuesday for the double murder charges.
