No bail for man charged with killing at 2012 birthday party

A  judge denied bail today for a man accused of fatally shooting a woman outside his 35th birthday party in the Lawndale neighborhood last year after she refused advances from someone else at the party
During a hearing today, Judge Israel Desierto denied bail for Tyrese Orr, 36, of the 1800 block of South Springfield Avenue.
Orr is charged with killing Michelle Gregory in the early morning hours of April 14, outside his birthday party in the 3900 block of West 19th Street.
The victim, 22, went out after work with two girlfriends and while she was driving around with them, they received a phone call from two males who invited them to a house party being thrown to celebrate Orr’s birthday.
Gregory and her friends did not know Orr and were introduced to him only as “Money’’.
While at the party, a man she did not know began flirting with her and she became uncomfortable because she had a boyfriend. Gregory and her friends went into a bedroom where Gregory tried to call her father and sister to ask them to pick her up. The man who had been flirting with her overheard her phone conversation.
Gregory and her friends decided to leave and went outside to wait for their work friends to see if they wanted a ride home, but Orr and the male who had been flirting with her came out of the house and went up to them.
Orr told Gregory that he heard she was trying to “ bring some people into his hood’’ and that she was disrespecting him before he pulled a gun and shot her three times.
When she fell to ground and was gasping for air, her friends tried to help her but Orr told them: “If you don’t get out of here you will end up dead like your friend’’.
Her friends fled, called 911 and flagged down a police car as they drove away.
Gregory, of the 7600 block of South St. Lawrence Avenue, was pronounced dead at 5:02 a.m. that day at Mount Sinai Hospital.
The victim's friends were able to identify Orr as the gunman when they were shown a photo lineup. A warrant for his arrest was issued Oct. 17, and he was arrested on Monday. Witnesses were able to identify him in a physical lineup.
Orr has a 2003 burglary conviction for which he was given 18 months of probation but when he violated the probation he was sentenced to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections
