Luis Gomez-Garcia, 30, one of two men charged in the case, pleaded guilty to one felony count of aggravated kidnapping, according to a news release from the DuPage County state's attorney's office.

The carjacking occurred at 4:48 p.m. on Oct. 8, 2021, in a parking lot at 270 W. North Ave. The victim and her two children, ages 10 and 5, had just entered the car when Gomez-Garzia approached and put a knife to the woman's throat through the open window, the news release said.
