Two women arrested in murder spree
Pair linked to four murders

July 3, 2004 — Chicago police think they have solved a serial murder spree. They announced the arrests of two women in connection with four different murders spanning several months.

The suspects are, 26-year-old Angel Ford Wright and Caroline Peoples, also 26. The two women are cousins. They're accused of a serial killing spree that took them across the city's South Side.

It began on May 23 with the death of Jose Marquez in his apartment at 7655 South Phillips Avenue.


Then on June 2, Kenneth Reddick was shot and killed in his home at 8202 South Commercial.

Two weeks later, Kelvin Armstrong was gunned down as he left a currency exchange on East 75th Street.

Then on Thursday, the first female victim, an acquaintance of the suspects, was killed in an alley in the 79-hundred block of South Shore Drive.

Police say robbery was the motive for most of the murders.

"During each of the robberies there was never more than $200 taken. That was the maximum amount. The least amount was $30," said Det. Eileen Heffernan.

Police say Angel Ford Wright acted as a caregiver to one of the victims. Caroline Peoples allegedly used to date another.

"As far as we could tell, the victims did not know each other and as far as how this came about, the old-fashioned police investigation techniques going out talking to people," said Det. William Filipak.

Police say it is unusual to have two women accused of masterminding a killing spree. What is even more unusual, according to detectives, is that three of the four victims were men.

Police say the two women have confessed on videotape to their roles in the four murders.
