CHICAGO (AP) - A man charged in the fatal shooting of a 46-year-old woman inside a Chicago Walgreens has been ordered held without bond.
WLS-TV reports that Louis Hicks appeared Friday in court on a murder charge. The 33-year-old Hicks also is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office says Sircie Varnado died of a gunshot wound to the face in the June 13 shooting.
