Announcing charges in a case that has drawn national attention, police say 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was shot to death by two reputed gang members who were bent on retaliation for a shooting last summer and mistook the group of teens she was with for rivals.
Michael Ward, 18, and Kenneth Williams, 20, are charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm in the attack that also left two other teens wounded in Harsh Park late last month.
Ward, of the 3900 block of South Lake Park Avenue, told police the shooting was in retaliation for Williams getting wounded last July on the South Side.
Williams, of the 300 block of West 59th Street, had been shot July 11 near Pershing Road and Lake Park Avenue. But he refused to sign a complaint against those suspected in the attack.
Williams and Ward targeted Hadiya and other teens in the park Jan. 29 because they believed, mistakenly, they were members of the gang responsible for the shooting, he said. Ward fired the gun
Ward and Williams are members of the Gangster Disciples.
Ward pleaded guilty early last year in a 2011 aggravated unlawful use of a weapon case and was given two years probation, according to court records. After an arrest on criminal trespass to a vehicle last summer, he was held without bond for a few weeks, but was released after a Sept. 9, 2012, hearing.
Williams was arrested on a misdemeanor retail theft charge in October 2011, but the charge was dismissed.

This is a lesson for black people: the white people commenting on this article, don't really care about who was shot, or what really happen, they just wanna see these two young men lynched. We minorities kill each other, over this rediculous gang bull shit, and now, one child is dead, and the other two are gonna get punished by an independent party, that's gonna enjoy it all as it evolves. I feel for the families...Read the above comments black people and learn...it's still 1953.
Too you above racists...the world is changing, and not in your favor, or your childrens favor...so be nice =)
Whatever, your cultures a joke. Everyone knows enought "black history" to recognize a social pariah.
Changing to Chinese and Mexican. Check the population stats and keep on killing your young men....already down to 12% of US pop from 13 10 years ago

As Blacks, we have to take a stand. We cannot save every gangbanger!!! If you have a gun-toting, do-nothing but get in trouble fool living under your roof, turn his ass in and make sure they keep him. These young men do not want to change! They don't want to live.. Maybe these two will be a wake up call for the others. There IS help out here!!! Seek out the help you need and stop hunting others. That little girl never hurt anyone, she didn't deserve to die. I pray for her family and so many others...
