A man has been charged with murder in connection to a shooting earlier in August in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Justin Cortes, 25, was arrested Wednesday after police identified him as the man who shot and killed Angel Figueroa on Aug. 6, Chicago police said.

Figueroa, 38, was a passenger in a vehicle traveling that evening in the 3400 block of West Division Street when someone opened fire from another vehicle, police said.

Figueroa was shot in his face and driven to Humboldt Park Health Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Cortes was scheduled to appear in court later Thursday on a count of first-degree murder.
