Chicago police on Saturday announced murder charges against a man allegedly involved in the fatal shooting of a 7-year-old girl at a West Side McDonald’s drive-thru last weekend, days before officers shot him during a wild chase that ended with his arrest in the middle of rush-hour traffic on the Eisenhower Expressway.
Marion Lewis, 18, faces counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and a litany of other felony charges following the April 18 death of the little girl, Jaslyn Adams.
Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said Lewis was “involved” in the shooting but wouldn’t say if the young man pulled the trigger. Investigators are still looking for an unspecified number of other suspects in connection with “this horrific crime,” Brown said.
