Markeas Brown, 18, faces first-degree murder and attempted murder charges in the shooting Aug. 17 in the first block of South Parkside Avenue
Brown, of the 5500 block of West Corcoran Place, was ordered held in lieu of $1.5 million bail in a Cook County Bond Court hearing before Criminal Court Judge Israel Desierto today.
Daquan Boyd, 18, of the 5400 block of West Adams Street, was standing on Parkside about 11:30 p.m. that day with another 18-year-old man when the attack took place.
Brown and another person came up on bicycles, Brown on the sidewalk and the other in the street, and when Brown was about 5 feet from Boyd and his friend, Brown demanded to know the pair's gang affiliation.
Brown then pulled out a revolver and started shooting at Boyd and the other man, and the other attacker also started shooting at them. Boyd and his friend ran into an alley to try to get away, but Boyd was shot in the back and the other man was wounded once in the leg and twice in the flank.
Boyd fell in the alley and died there. The other man was shot in the side and taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County for treatment.
At the time of the shooting, police said the two victims were not affiliated with any gangs, leading investigators to speculate that the shootings may have been a case of mistaken identity.
The surviving victim recognized Brown and gave police his nickname. Brown was arrested Monday and identified in a lineup by the surviving victim, then gave a videotaped confession. The second attacker has not yet been charged,

Easy to make the choice of a gun over a book. 18 yrs old, Yeah! time to be a man, time to make another choice. Lets see what choices were there. #1 Take advantage of grants and go to college. #2 Join the armed forces for adventure and discipline. OR #3 Continue with a gang lifestyle with individuals that wont be happy and satisfied until you have entrenched your life in their world of self destruction and after you are brought low, redirect your anger to society and cry the white man is holding me back. Wake up young brothers to the real time enemy, your so-called friends that push and perpetrate the fraud of a criminal lifestyle under the mask of community and friendship. A FALSEHOOD!!!
EXCELLENT POST SIR
Real Talk^^^
Black flash mobs beat white man into coma...black mobs beat 13 year old to death. BLACKS ARE KILLING US, OUR TEENS, STAY OFF THE STREETS...utube Black Panthers have bounty on Zimmermin..calls him white cracker Jew
That is straight up the truth. I just can't imagine why someone would choose living a free life to do whatever you want to living in a 7 x 7 cell with a bunch of sweaty dudes all wearing the same orange jumpsuit. Will someone tell me why? No fresh air. No women. Eat what THEY say eat. Unless you buy the garbage from the commissary. Get up when they say get up. Go to sleep when they say go to sleep. Shower when they say. Which reminds me, I'm bout to jump in my big ass shower and get fresh. Cuz I can.
I HOPE HE HAS NO MORE KIDS. dirty gangster! rapper!, I wonder how many people he killed!,, every time I see a black I wonder that...or robbed, or hit. Or I wonder if the have HIV, or, I wonder , how many babies they have.
Why don't you look in the mirror, tilt your head sideways and wonder how you came out the womb ugly as hell. Then close your eyes, grab your head and wonder how come you cant spell spit. Then put your head between your legs and wonder why you smell shit. Stupefied retard.
MANNN! LOL Im laughing right now. I cant help it. Man this dude look like a slow ass koala bear
Isnt that what the gangs do? put the finger on the neighborhood special ed. kid, the one that the the other neighborhood kids got to put his(or her in some cases) tongue on the flag pole in winter, and goad him into doing the risky stuff like bike by shootings. this kid must have his own body weight in brain damage. paint chips and fetal alcohol syndrome will do it every time...poor sorry bastard.
