Murder charges for man held in home invasion

Charges have been upgraded to murder for a 19-year-old accused of home invasion in a July 25 incident on the South Side that left one of his fellow attackers dead.
Jermalle Brown, 19, of the 7100 block of South East End Avenue was charged with murder in the accidental shooting death of Douglas Bufford, 16.
Brown was already in custody because he'd been charged only with committing a home invasion, police said. He had appeared in bond court July 28 and was being held in lieu of $250,000.
Police said that about 9:45 p.m. July 25, four or five males forced their way into a home on the 1400 block of East 73rd Street in the Grand Crossing neighborhood and announced a robbery.
One of a group accidentally shot a fellow attacker, identified as Bufford, in the back of the head with a shotgun
