Bail was set at $1.5 million today for a man accused of fatally shooting a
16-year-old boy and wounding a man in the Fernwood neighborhood on the Far South
Side.
Michael O. Johnson, 23, of the 300 block of West 106th Place, is charged with
murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery.
He is accused of opening fire in the 10500 block of South LaSalle Street late
Monday afternoon, killing 16-year-old Maurice Knowles and wounding a 24-year-old
man.
A relative of Maurice had stolen a gun from Johnson, so Johnson and two
others went to the home on LaSalle looking for revenge. Johnson and one of his companions stepped out
of a gangway and fired shots at a porch where the two victims were.
A witness told police she "heard a warning" about someone near the gangway
and she turned and saw someone in a dark hoodie pointing a gun toward the porch. She dove into the house as Maurice was hit in the abdomen
and the man was grazed in the back.
The wounded man declined medical attention and would not go to the police
station to talk to detectives.
Other witnesses led police to Johnson, she said. When officers went to his
home, Johnson kicked out a window and police initially thought the noise was
gunfire. Officers finally arrested Johnson after he fell through the floor of
the attic where he had been hiding
