Nearly eight months after the shooting, IMPD has charged Peregrino with the fatal shooting of Simon-Osorio. The suspect was already in custody for a carjacking that took place just hours after the shooting incident.
**Eyewitness Accounts**
According to court documents, witnesses at the Halloween party reported that Peregrino was intoxicated, engaging in arguments, and brandishing two guns inside the party. He later went outside and began rapping while pointing a laser on the gun at people. Simon-Osorio reportedly tried to intervene and ask Peregrino to put the guns away, but the suspect threatened to start shooting.
**Connection to Carjacking**
IMPD officers were also dispatched to a nearby carjacking shortly after the shooting. A neighbour reported that a male, identified as Peregrino, had crashed a stolen car near his house and was seen waving a gun. The suspect was apprehended, and the firearm, a 9mm Glock 17 with an extended magazine and green laser sight, was recovered.
**Legal Proceedings**
Lab forensics teams have matched Peregrino’s gun to bullet casings found at the shooting scene. Videos from the party also showed the suspect waving guns, and witnesses identified him in a photo array lineup. Peregrino has been charged with felony murder and is scheduled for a court appearance to evaluate legal counsel.
**Additional Charges**
In addition to the murder charge, Peregrino faces multiple charges related to the carjacking, including kidnapping while hijacking a vehicle, armed robbery, and criminal recklessness. A pretrial conference for the carjacking case is set for next week.
**Conclusion**
The tragic incident at the Halloween party has led to the arrest and charging of a teenager in connection to the fatal shooting of Edwin Simon-Osorio. Peregrino’s legal proceedings will continue as the IMPD works to bring justice for the victim and their family..
