A 17-year-old male has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of a 43-year-old woman inside a South Cornell Avenue residence, according to Chicago police. The official release states that the juvenile was arrested on the night of September 19, roughly two days before the commencement of his detention hearing.
The incident, which occurred in the 6800 block of S. Cornell, saw the teenager allegedly taking the woman's life, the Chicago Police described. The accused then fled only to turn himself into authorities later. As reported by the Chicago Police's news release, the subsequent charging of the young suspect was a direct outcome of his self-surrender in the 7000 block of S. Cottage Grove.
The charged offender is set to appear for a detention hearing at 2600 S. California on September 21. While the police have disclosed this information, additional details surrounding the circumstances of the murder and the motivations behind it have not been made available at this time.
