Sixty-year-old Clarence Jones died Thursday night, more than two weeks after he was shot in the Roseland neighborhood, and two men remain in custody for the attack.
Shelby Turner | Cook County Sheriff’s Dept.
Jones was in the 11400 block of South Stewart about 2:40 p.m. June 27 when a vehicle approached and someone inside fired shots, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
He was shot in the back, and was taken in critical condition to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 9:55 p.m. Thursday, authorities said. Jones lived in the block where the shooting occurred.
An autopsy Friday showed he died of complications from a gunshot wound to the torso, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Gary Johnson | Cook County Sheriff’s Dept.
Two men were arrested the night of the shooting, police said.
Shelby Turner, 22, and Gary Johnson, 21, were initially charged with aggravated battery with a firearm and attempted first-degree murder, police said.
On June 30, bond was set at $750,000 for Johnson, and Turner was ordered held without bond, according to court records. They are next scheduled to appear in court July 25.
