A Berwyn man has been charged with murder for his role in the beating death of an Aurora man last week in the Humboldt Park area.
Antwon Williams, 33, allegedly struck 53-year-old Raphael Watts in the head during a fight in the 2600 block of West North Avenue about 9:40 p.m. Sept. 4, authorities said.
Watts, of the 1100 block of Kane Street in Aurora, died at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center at 11:25 a.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
A Wednesday autopsy determined Watts died of blunt force head trauma from an altercation and the death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner’s office.
Williams, of the 2200 block of Scoville Avenue in Berywn, was charged with first-degree murder and a parole violation, police said. He is expected to appear in court Thursday for a bond hearing.
