Armed with a baseball bat and crowbar, two men went on a violent robbery spree in December that included beating a man to death in Gage Park in front of his daughter as he put up Christmas lights, officials said Friday.
Pedro Mendiola, 21, and Moises Barrios, 23, are charged with murdering Jose Tellez on Dec. 11 while on the nearly five-hour crime spree during which they beat and robbed 12 other people, according to Chicago police and Cook County prosecutors.
