Bond was set at $1 million Saturday for the second man charged with a Memorial Day weekend shooting that left 20-year-old Ruben Feliciano dead in Humboldt Park.Giovanni Rios, 19, faces a first-degree murder charge for the May 24 shooting of Feliciano, according to Chicago Police. Joseph Thrane, 18, was arrested the week after the attack and remains in the Cook County Jail on a $2 million bond.
Feliciano, a car enthusiast, was driving around in his car while his three friends followed in three separate vehicles, prosecutors said.
Rios and Thrane were in a black Saturn SUV with fellow Latin Kings flashing gang signs before they opened fire on Feliciano about 4 p.m., prosecutors said at Thrane’s June bond hearing.
The SUV that Thrane was in drove by the group and then partially blocked the path of Feliciano’s car, which was leading the others, prosecutors said.

The SUV rammed the back of Feliciano’s car while he was stopped in traffic in the 3300 block of West Division Street, prosecutors said. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Thrane then pulled out a weapon and fired at Feliciano’s car multiple times.
Feliciano—one of at least 55 gunshot victims in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend—tried to drive away but struck several parked cars before coming to a stop, authorities said.
He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died at 4:45 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Feliciano was from the 2400 block of North Sacramento.
The SUV sped away, but Feliciano’s three friends identified Thrane, of the 3200 block of West Wabansia Avenue, prosecutors said.
Rios, of the 1000 block of North Paulina, was arrested this week. Judge Donald Panarese Jr. ordered him held on a $1 million bond Saturday, according to court records. He is due in court again Monday.
