He deserves the death penalty.
CHICAGO - An 18-year-old man has been arrested and charged with the murder of a University of Chicago graduate student shot and killed during a robbery earlier this week near the school campus.
Alton Spann was arrested Wednesday, police said. On Friday, he was charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon in the death of 24-year-old Shaoxiong Zheng.
Police say Zheng was on the sidewalk in the 900 block of East 54th Street in Hyde Park when a dark-colored car pulled up and a gunman got out shortly before 2 p.m.
Witnesses told officers Zheng appeared to struggle with Spann and Spann then shot him once in the torso, police said.
Police say Spann took electronics from Zheng, got back in the car and fled west on 54th Place.
Zheng was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center down the street, where he was pronounced dead.
Not long after, police say Spann sold the electronics to a pawn shop for $100.
