A 22-year-old man is being held without bond for the fatal shooting of another man in Lake View on the early morning of May 30.
Kristopher K. Pitts, of the 1100 block of N. Central Park Ave., faces one count each of first-degree murder and armed robbery, according to Chicago Sun-Times. He allegedly shot and killed Kevin O. O'Malley, of suburban Palos Park, reportedly over the robbery of a mobile phone.
Pitts allegedly fled the scene and was apprehended a short time later. Chicago Police officers found O'Malley's body in an alley beneath CTA Brown Line tracks near Sheffield Avenue.
44th Ward Ald. Tom Tunney said, on a May 30 Facebook post, that he would be calling for a heightened police presence in the area.
"This senseless act of violence cannot be ignored. I am pushing for increased police resources to our community, including from area and citywide units, to ensure that our residents and visitors are safe walking on our streets at all hours of the day."
