A Cook County man and woman were charged Saturday in connection with a recent fatal shooting in Bridgeview , in what authorities said was a "murder-for-hire" plot. Anthony Calderon, 20, and Agnieszka Rydzewski, 33, are charged in the shooting death of Arturo Cantu. Officials said Cantu, 39, was walking to his car outside his apartment complex in the 7300 block of 79th Street around 5 a.m. Wednesday when he was shot twice.
Following further investigation, it was discovered that Rydzewski was Calderon's coworker at a local McDonald's and she allegedly plotted Cantu's murder with Calderon, prosecutors said. She's now charged with solicitation to commit murder. On Saturday, investigators found evidence that reportedly linked Rydzewski to the crime and the charges against her were approved in the evening by the Cook County State's Attorney. Rydzewski is expected to appear in court at 9 a.m.
