A Roseland man has been charged with the murder of a man who was shot and killed during a shootout following a botched armed robbery at a Far South Side gas station.
When Rodney Hawkins, 20, and two others allegedly tried to steal cash, shoes and a car from Kieer Pargo and another man at a Pullman Citgo Saturday, Pargo shot Hawkins.
But then one of Hawkins’ cohorts returned fire and killed Pargo, Cook County prosecutors said Thursday.
The gunman and Hawkins’ other cohort have not yet been charged.
Hawkins’ face could be “clearly seen” on high-definition surveillance footage around 11:30 p.m. purchasing a bag of Swedish Fish with a cohort at the gas station’s store, at 701 E. 103rd St., Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said.
