A woman has been charged with killing a man in January inside a home in the South Loop.
Chrystal Martin, 28, was arrested Wednesday in Lyons after she was identified as a participant in the Jan. 4 murder of Timothy Vallianatos, Chicago police said.
Vallianatos, 56, was found shot to death inside a home in the 2100 block of South Michigan Avenue, police said.
Witnesses told officers they heard a struggle in the man’s apartment before the officers arrived, police said.
Martin was expected in court later Thursday on a murder charge.
