A man convicted of beating 76-year-old Dora Nix-Corbin two years ago at a bus stop near her home in the Bronzeville neighborhood now faces a murder charge following her death.

Hezekiah Anthony, 34, began serving an eight-year sentence earlier this year for the July, 26, 2014, attack against Nix-Corbin near her home in the 500 block of East 47th Street, according to court records and Chicago Police.

Prosecutors said he approached Nix-Corbin just before 10 p.m. at a bus stop across the street from her home. There argued over $10 and he hit her with his hand and knocked her to the ground.

He then stomped her head several times until by-standers stepped in and he left, according to prosecutors. He was arrested later and identified by those witnesses.
