No bail in Memorial Day revenge killing

Bail was denied today for a parolee accused of gunning down a man on Memorial Day in retaliation for a prior shooting involving his girlfriend’s son and nephew.
Derrick Miles, 33, was charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of Marley Collins, 19. Prosecutors said Miles went to the 1500 block of South Spaulding Avenue about 5:30 p.m. Monday, approached the victim as he was sitting in an empty lot and shot him once through the abdomen.
Miles was overheard by others nearby yelling “I got your (expletive)” as he fired. Collins, of the 5000 block of West 18th Place in Cicero, was declared dead later that day at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Miles was arrested on Tuesday and numerous witnesses identified him in a police lineup as the gunman,. Police believe Collins was involved in the shooting Saturday of Miles’ girlfriend’s son and nephew.
At the time of the slaying, Miles, of the 3100 block of West 15th Street, was on parole for a 2008 aggravated battery conviction for which he received 6 years in prison. State records show Miles was paroled in 2010 and had been scheduled for release from parole this August. He also has numerous other felony convictions, including narcotics possession and unlawful use of a weapon
