A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder in the shooting death of 16-year-old Darren Foggey last Wednesday night in the Chicago Lawn community.
Authorities said Foggey was inside a home in the 6700 block of South Artesian Avenue when he was shot about 9:25 p.m. June 23.
Foggey, of the 6900 block of South Artesian Avenue, was inside a bedroom when a bullet came through the window and struck him in the neck, authorities said. He died at the scene.
Detectives were initially investigating if the shooting was gang related.
Police announced Monday detectives identified and located the 15-year-old boy, who was charged as an adult with one count of first-degree murder. Police were not releasing the boy’s name because he is a juvenile.
The boy is expected to appear for a bond hearing tomorrow at the Leighton Courthouse in the 2600 block of South California Avenue.
