A 29-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a fatal shooting in April in Back of the Yards.
Cory Wilson was charged with felony counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm and three counts of being in possession of a controlled substance, according to Chicago police.
Ricky Shipman, 35, and another man were in a parked car about 10:30 p.m. that day, in the 1500 block of West Garfield Boulevard, when someone opened fire, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
Shipman was shot in the chest and taken to Holy Cross Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
The other man, 38, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition with a gunshot wound to the ankle, police said.
Wilson was arrested Monday in the 6700 block of South Damen Avenue, after being identified as the person who allegedly fired the fatal shots, police said.
He is due in bond court Tuesday.
