Man, 22, killed in street robbery in Garfield Park

A West Side man was killed during a street robbery less than a mile from his home.
Two men were arrested and charges were pending.
Akeem J. Morris, of the 4200 block of West Jackson Boulevard, was shot around 6:40 p.m. Tuesday.
Morris was walking with five other people in the 4000 block of West End Avenue in the West Garfield Park neighborhood when they were approached by three men.
One of the men pulled a handgun and announced a robbery while the two other men attempted to get cash and items from the victims.
Police believe Morris was shot in the face when he resisted. No other injuries were reported as the three robbers fled in a vehicle.
Morris was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Officers arrested two men in the area of the shooting and were searching for a third.
