Cook County Sheriff's police said, around 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Nava shot two men and pointed his gun at a third man, following a fight during a burial service at St. Mary Catholic Cemetery in Evergreen Park.

Two men, ages 24 and 25, were taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Sheriff's officers later found Nava near the cemetery and took him into custody. Two guns were recovered from his possession.

At Nava's first court appearance on Friday at the Markham courthouse, a judge ordered him held in jail until a detention hearing on Feb. 5 at the Bridgeview courthouse.
