Joshua Kirkwood was stabbed to death inside his own Waukegan restaurant, 41 14 Forty One Fourteen Steaks and Seafood, located at 2120 North Green Bay Road, during a fight last month.
Prosecutors say other charges are possible against Gonzales, because investigators believe he started the fight with Kirkwood, which led to the stabbing.
Investigators say Gonzalez’s 16-year-old year old brother is the one who stabbed Kirkwood.
