A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder in the Saturday night shooting death of Bernard Pippen in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood.
Officers responding to a call of a shots fired found Pippen shot in the neck in the 9600 block of South Green Street about 6:50 p.m. Saturday, authorities said.
Pippen, 18, of the 11000 block of South State Street, died at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Police initially said detectives were questioning at least one "persons of interest," and late Sunday announced that a 15-year-old boy was charged as an adult with first-degree murder.
The teenager, whose name police did not release because he is a minor, is expected to appear in court for a bond hearing later Monday.
