Updated: Joliet suspect stabbed man, ran him over with vehicle outside bar, prosecutor says

A judge set a $2 million bond for a man accused of not only stabbing another man at a Joliet bar but running him over with a vehicle.

At a bond hearing on Thursday, Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Jeff Tuminello told Judge Fred Harvey that the state’s evidence at that point would show Jose Aguilar-Moreno, 30, stabbed Jorge Chiguil-Toto, 40, with a knife on Monday at the Spanish American Club, 413 Meeker Avenue, Joliet.

Before the stabbing, Aguilar got into a fight with several people at the bar, Tuminello said.

Chiguil-Toto and several others attempted to get Aguilar-Moreno out of the bar, Tuminello said. Video from the establishment showed Aguilar-Moreno stabbing Chiguil-Toto with a knife, he said.

After Chiguil-Toto was stabbed, he was sitting outside of the bar and resting when Aguilar-Moreno got inside of Nissan Pathfinder, drove it over a sidewalk and ran over Chiguil-Toto, according to Tuminello.

Officers were able to find the vehice, he said.

“The vehicle contained blood,” Tuminello said.

Judge Fred Harvey asked Tuminello what the cause of death was.

Tuminello said the preliminary cause was from both the stab wounds and the vehicle but a forensic pathologist said the stab wounds were not fatal and that the vehicle was likely the primary cause of Chiguil-Toto’s death.

Tuminello recommended a $2 million bond for Aguilar-Moreno, which was set by Harvey.

The charges against Aguilar-Moreno alleged that he killed Chiguil-Toto by running him over with a vehicle. It did not mention him stabbing Chiguil-Toto.

Joliet police Sgt. Dwayne English said the aspect of Chiguil-Toto being struck by a vehicle was still under investigation at the time the police department released a preliminary news release on the incident.

English said the incident began as a fight inside of a bar and the events leading up to the fight is still under investigation.

Harvey told Aguilar-Moreno, who required a Spanish interpreter at his hearing, that he faces a minimum of 20 years and a maximum of 60 years in prison for the first-degree murder charges.
