CHICAGO (AP) - A suburban Chicago man has been charged in the deaths of two teenagers who were found shot in the head in the basement of a home on Chicago’s South Side.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports (https://bit.ly/1nlN30y ) that the suspect is 23-year-old Justin Hamilton of south suburban Flossmoor. He’s charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Hamilton was to appear in bond court Tuesday.
The victims of Saturday’s shooting were 16-year-old Jordan Means and 18-year-old Anthony Bankhead.
Means’ mother, Camille Cochran, tells the Sun-Times that the suspect and her son had an argument on Facebook prior to the shooting.
In a separate, unrelated shooting, a 14-year-old and 16-year-old were wounded Monday night in the South Shore neighborhood. Authorities say the 14-year-old was shot in the back and was in critical condition.
