 Jesse Alvarez faces a maximum life prison sentence. A Kane County
judge convicted him Monday of attempted first-degree murder,
aggravated battery with a firearm and armed violence.
The 23-year-old Aurora man went to the home of an alleged Maniac
Latin Disciple, asked him his gang affiliation and then opened fire
with a .45-caliber handgun. The Kane County state's attorney's
office says Alvarez fired five shots, hitting his target twice in
the leg.
Alvarez had waived his right to a jury trial, leaving it up to
Circuit Judge Susan Clancy Boles to decide the case. Sentencing is
set for Feb. 26. [Associated
