$1M Bail For Aurora Man Accused Of Murder After Fatal Shooting

AURORA, IL — A 20-year-old Aurora man is facing two counts of first-degree murder after police alleged he was involved in a fatal shooting Friday evening.

Ivan Valles, of the 500 block of Seventh Avenue, was arrested early Saturday morning after a nearly three-hour standoff, police said.

Kane County prosecutors allege Valles drove his car Friday evening to the 300 block of South Spencer Street before someone got out and shot 32-year-old Fernando Carapia near his home.

The shooter ran back to Valles' car, which sped away from the area, according to prosecutors, who said police are searching for more suspects connected to the shooting.
