Erick T. Horton has been charged with murder in the September shooting death of Nigell Vazquez in the Chatham neighborhood.
Vazquez, 22, was standing on a porch in the 8600 block of South Ingleside Avenue when two people walked up and started shooting about 8:30 p.m. Sept. 4, authorities said.
Vazquez, of the 1700 block of East 56th Street, was shot twice in the back and died about an hour later at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, authorities said.
Horton, 34, of the 10800 block of South Edbrooke Avenue, was charged on Friday with first-degree murder, police said.
On Saturday, Judge Donald Panarese ordered Horton held on $1 million bond after prosecutors claim he told his girlfriend about the shooting.
Horton will be back in court Monday.
