Over the weekend, a 40-year-old Chicago man was been slapped with murder charges following a shooting that claimed the life of a 29-year-old male. Javier LeBron, of the 2700 block of N. Sawyer, has been charged with one felony count of first-degree murder and another for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, according to a recent Chicago Police Department release.
The arrest was executed by the Area Five Homicide Support Team near 2600 N. Milwaukee Ave. on June 20, 2024. It comes in the wake of an investigation into a fatal shooting that occurred back in April of this year. LeBron, the accused, was allegedly identified as the man who fatally shot another on the 2600 block of N. Sawyer within the city's 16th District. The police have yet to fully disclose any additional details surrounding this case.
LeBron now faces a detention hearing set to take place at a court located at 2600 S. California on the afternoon of June 22, 2024. The Chicago Police Department has remained tight-lipped about the particulars of the case.
