Chicago gang members arrested in girl’s murder
Four gang members have been charged with the shooting death of 10-year-old Nequiel Fowler, who was shot to death while playing outside her Chicago home on Labor Day.
John Gorman, spokesman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, declined to discuss what role each man is alleged to have played in the girl’s shooting, which triggered outrage from city leaders.
But Chicago police spokesman John Mirabelli said Luis Pena, 20, of Chicago, opened fire on Nequiel and the others from a gangway. The children were not the intended targets, he said, adding that the men were members of the Latin Dragons gang.
Word that charges had been filed came as a welcome surprise to Linda Williams, mother of Nequiel, who was called Nee-Nee.
