Federal officials announced earlier this month that a gunman had been arrested for firing at U.S. Border Patrol agents amid chaotic protests in Little Village earlier this month, as the agency’s aggressive Chicago area campaign was drawing to a close.
So far, no charges have been announced in the alleged shooting in the nearly two weeks since officials claimed gunfire erupted in the 2500 block of South Kedzie Avenue.
But on Thursday, a federal gun possession case was unsealed against a man matching the description the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had provided for the suspected shooter.
Hector Gomez, 45, faces a single count of possessing a firearm as an undocumented immigrant, piling on the charges he already faces in Cook County in relation to his arrest Nov. 8 in the 3100 bloc
