A 19-year-old South Side man is accused of gunning down a 16-year-old boy earlier this week in the Woodlawn neighborhood, Chicago police said.
Sir Mario Ford was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 16-year-old Uriel Rodger-Knox, which happened Tuesday in the 6200 block of South Greenwood Avenue, police said.
After allegedly shooting Rodger-Knox in the head, Ford fled into a home in the same block and was taken in for questioning and later charged, police said. Rodger-Knox was initially taken to University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition but he was pronounced dead there at 5:55 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
An autopsy the next day determined Rodger-Knox died of a gunshot wound to the face and his death was ruled a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said. Ford, of the same block on Greenwood, was expected to appear before a judge for a bond hearing on Friday.of a 15-year-old boy in the 3500 block of South Prairie Avenue.Mayor, top cop, state’s attorney appear jointly again to announce an arrest, this time connected to 2021 shootout in Austin neighborhood
