The US attorney's office is now prosecuting two alleged gang members over the death of a National Guard soldier in 2021 - after the state attorney refused to do so.

Chrys Carvajal, 19, was killed in Chicago on July 3, 2021 in a drive-by shooting as he was walking to his car while attending a Fourth of July party with his girlfriend.

Three years on from his killing, Gary 'Gotti' Roberson, 40, and Joseph 'Troubles' Matos, 41, are set to stand trial over his brutal slaying. Evidence linking at least one of the suspects to his death was reportedly with the state attorney's office soon after his killing, according to the Chicago Tribune. His family had to endure three years of pain after state attorney Kim Foxx, whose role is equivalent to DA for the city, said there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute.

Federal prosecutors have now pinned the murder on Roberson and Matos alongside another charge of racketeering.

According to his sister Jennifer Ramirez, Carvajal had been at home on leave from basic training when he was killed. According to a recently unsealed indictment, the two killed Carvajal 'for the purpose of maintaining and increasing position in the Milwaukee Kings', a known street gang. As per the indictment, the Milwaukee Kings gang operates on the North Side of Chicago and carries out murders and other acts to protect their power and territory.

Taylor Swift made 'ground shaking' UK debut: Seismologists

Taylor Swift fans literally made the earth move as the US singer-songwriter began her UK tour, the British Geological Survey said on Thursday, with seismic activity recorded six kilometers (nearly four miles) away.

The American pop sensation kicked off the UK-leg of her Eras tour with three shows in the Scottish capital Edinburgh attended by over 200,000 fans between Friday and Sunday. Each show broke the record for the most-attended stadium concert in Scottish history, with the BGS detecting earthquake readings generated by the concerts. The BGS also revealed the fan favorites "Ready For It?", "Cruel Summer" and "Champagne Problems" resulted in the "most significant seismic activity each night".

During "Ready for It?", the crowd was transmitting approximately 80 kilowatts of power—equivalent to some 6,000 car batteries. Data suggested that fans at the first concert on Friday night had the "most enthusiastic dancing", added the BGS, which is responsible for recording earthquakes in the UK.

This is not the first time Swift has got her fans to "shake it off", with her concerts in Seattle in the United States last July generating seismic activity equal to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake according to a geologist. After Edinburgh, the Swiftie-mania makes its way to Liverpool in northwest England, followed by shows in Cardiff in Wales and London's Wembley Stadium, with 15 summer dates scheduled across the country.

The tour is set to boost the UK economy by almost £1 billion ($1.3 billion), according to a Barclays study from May, estimating nearly 1.2 million fans shelling out £848 on tickets, travel, accommodation and merchandise.

Swift's Eras tour became the first ever to cross the $1-billion valuation at the end of last year
