    CHICAGO (WBBM) — A man has been charged with murder in the shooting deaths of two teens in the East Side neighborhood on the Far South Side of Chicago in 2024 and 2025.

Anthony Nunnally, 21, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Police said he was identified as the gunman who shot and killed a 17-year-old Gabriella Marie Arellano in the 11000 block of South Mackinaw Avenue on Oct. 26, 2025.

Nunnally also was identified as the gunman who shot and killed 19-year-old Sierra Evans on Sept. 28, 2024. Police said Evans was found in the 9500 block of South Avenue N with multiple gunshot wounds.

It was not immediately clear if the two victims knew each other or had any connections other than both were allegedly shot and killed by Nunnally.

At the time of his arrest, Nunnally was already being held at Cook County Jail on felony carjacking and armed robbery charges.

He is due to appear in court on the murder charges on Wednesday.

WHO says risk of Ebola in World Cup host countries is low

(Daniel Buuma/Getty Images)(GENEVA) -- The World Health Organization said on Thursday that the risk of Ebola transmission in Europe and World Cup host countries is low as the tournament gets ready to kick off across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO's regional director for Europe, said in a statement that there are currently no Ebola cases in North America or Europe amid an outbreak spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo.The DRC has recorded 676 confirmed cases as of Thursday morning, according to DRC's minister of health. In Uganda, there are 19 confirmed cases -- many of them travel-related -- and two deaths, the country's health officials said.Kluge made reference to an Ebola patient who was treated in the European Region after being evacuated from the outbreak region.An American physician, Dr. Peter Stafford, tested positive for Ebola after being exposed while treating patients at Nyankunde Hospital. Stafford, a medical missionary with the mission organization Serge, was transferred to Germany and treated at Berlin's Charite University Hospital.His wife, Dr. Rebekah Stafford, and their four children were also transferred to the same hospital, where they were monitored in quarantine for 21 days as high-risk contacts.Last week, the family was released from the hospital after Dr. Peter Stafford had no symptoms for more than 72 hours and a negative result in repeated PCR tests, Serge said."There is no reason to change your plans. Travel as normal, stay informed and enjoy the tournament," Kluge said.Kluge said there are several reasons why the risk is low in other countries: most cases are in remote areas of the DRC, Ebola is not an airborne illness and it is spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of a sick person.Additionally, screening is in place before travel is allowed from affected regions and people are only infectious once visibly ill, according to Kluge.The CDC has temporarily restricted entry to the U.S. for certain travelers who were recently in the DRC, Uganda or South Sudan. Currently, U.S. citizens and nationals may still enter but will undergo enhanced public health screenings.Kludge said the WHO does not recommend travel restrictions, "though if you don't have to travel to the affected areas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Uganda, it is safer not to."He added that it's important to challenge the stigma associated with Ebola patients and those from affected regions or African communities."The spread of Ebola is not determined by nationality or ethnicity," he said. "Stigma discourages people from seeking care and can make outbreaks harder to control. Stay informed, rely on trusted sources and treat others with understanding. With common sense and compassion, we can keep both people and the game safe."Copyright © 2026, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
