Attempted murder charges were filed against a Chicago man accused of shooting a state trooper this week in Springfield – days after he allegedly fatally shot his ex-girlfriend outside her Garfield Ridge home, according to police and her family.
The charges, including two counts each of attempted murder and aggravated battery to a police officer, were filed Thursday in downstate Sangamon County against Cristobal Santana, 37. He also faces a count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
