The mother of an 18-year-old man got a terrifying call from Venezuela: the caller said her son was kidnapped and told her where he was. On Tuesday night police found his body, according to a Chicago police report.
In a statement, police said they responded to a well being check about 9 p.m. Tuesday inside an apartment in the 6800 block of South Perry Avenue, where Cristian Jose Rojas Barrios, who suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and leg, was found and pronounced dead on the scene.
According to a police report, Rojas Barrios’ mother got a phone call from a person from Venezuela who she does not know. The caller told her that her son had been kidnapped about 3 p.m. Monday near a basketball court in the 7100 block of South King Drive and he could be found “inside an apartment” at the Perry Avenue address.
Rojas Barrios was found lying face down in a bathtub with his hands tied behind his back, the report said. Three nine-millimeter shell casings were found near his body.
An autopsy Wednesday determined Rojas Barrios died of multiple injuries from an assault and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Area 1 detectives were investigating.
