CHICAGO — A 17-year-old boy who fatally shot a 16-year-old during a chaotic evening in Millennium Park opened fire near The Bean after the younger boy jumped on his back and punched him in the head, Cook County prosecutors said in court Monday.
As Marion Richardson was being arrested, he told police, “You guys ain’t gonna do nothing anyways, a hundred (expletive) walking toward me, what am I supposed to do? You all just sitting there, bro,” Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said in court.
Richardson faces one count of second-degree murder alleging he killed 16-year-old Seandell Holliday in an unreasonable belief that he was justified in firing out of self-defense. Richardson is also charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, a more serious felony, meaning the case was automatically transferred to adult court.
