Man charged in fatal shooting witnessed by police

 30-year-old man is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of a Burnside neighborhood handy man earlier this week.
Michael Jones was ordered held without bail Friday by Cook County Criminal Court Judge Edward Harmening in the fatal shooting of his neighbor, 58-year-old James Reddick.
Chicago police officers assigned to the Gresham District were responding to a call of an unrelated armed robbery when they heard gunshots in the 700 block of East 87th Place just before 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.
As the officers arrived, they saw a man fire three shots at Reddick while he was on the ground.
The officers immediately attempted to detain Jones, who fled on foot and dropped a 9mm handgun on the ground.
They said the gun was eventually recovered.
Reddick suffered about eight gunshot wounds to the torso, head and arms.
During his arrest, they said, Jones was found with a small bag of marijuana in his possession along with $1,500 cash.
Authorities said Jones, who lives across the street from the victim, has a street gang affiliation but officials didn't offer a motive for the slaying.
