CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - A man has been charged for killing a Chicago pastor in a West Side home invasion.

Family and friends of beloved Chicago pastor and food pantry volunteer Marisol Berrios are struggling to cope after the 53-year old woman was found battered to death inside her home Saturday morning, allegedly by a man she once helped.


Chicago police said 59-year old Marvin Wells broke into her West Garfield Park home near Adams and Keeler Saturday. There, he allegedly beat her to death. Police arrested him after he crashed a stolen car near Fullerton and Kostner and had Berrios' purse in his possession.

Wells faces a long list of charges including murder, home invasion, and armed robbery. Berrios' family has started a GoFundMe to help pay for her funeral, which will be held this weekend.
