Two Men Charged In Fuller Park Triple Homicide
The Chicago Police Department announced that charges were filed against two men in connection with a triple homicide in Fuller Park.
According to police officials, Anthony Jackson, 20 of 4500 block of S. Drexel and Lawrence Brown, 22 3700 block of S. Wells, both of Chicago, were charged.
According to police officials, the offenders were arrested and charged in connection with a triple homicide where five people were shot on September 29, 2015, at approximately 12:10 am, on the 300 block of West 42nd Street. The homicide victims, a 22-year-old female, a 24-year-old male and a 30-year-old male, along with the two other victims, were part of a large group standing on the sidewalk when the offenders approached on foot from an alley and fired multiple shots into the crowd. The offenders then fled the scene northbound in a van. The offenders were subsequently located and arrested by Area Central detectives and were charged accordingly the morning of October 24, 2015.
Jackson, and Brown, received three felony counts of murder in the first degree, two felony counts of aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm, along with two felony counts of attempted murder in the first degree. However, Brown was additionally charged with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.
Both offenders were scheduled to attend Cook County Central Bond Court at 2600 S. California last week.
Police officials say that the surviving victims, a 26-year-old female and a 36-year-old male, each sustained a gunshot wound to the leg and were listed in good condition at area hospitals.
