Woman, Carlishia Hood, charged with murder after allegedly telling 14-year-old son to shoot man during fight.
Carlishia Hood, 35, and her teenage son have each been charged with first-degree murder stemming from the fatal Sunday night shooting of Jeremy Brown at a West Pullman restaurant.
Hood, who was also charged with a felony count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, was ordered held on a $3 million D-bond during a hearing Thursday, meaning she must pay 10% of that amount to be released from custody. Her son, whose name has not been released, is set to appear in juvenile court.
Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers said Hood and her son drove to the Maxwell Street Express restaurant in the 11600 block of South Halsted Street to get food around 11 p.m. Sunday.
The entire incident was caught on surveillance video, and Hood and her son were identified by Brown’s girlfriend in photo arrays, prosecutors said.
Hood and her son surrendered to police on Wednesday. She was also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Prosecutors said Hood had a valid firearm owners identification card and a permit to carry a concealed weapon. She had no criminal background.
Hood’s son faces counts of first-degree murder, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm in Juvenile Court and was ordered held in custody Thursday, a spokeswoman for the state’s attorney’s office said.
Brown ran from the store as Hood’s son allegedly continued to fire at him. The teen and his mother followed Brown into the parking lot, where she told her son to keep shooting Brown and to kill him, prosecutors said.
When the teen stopped shooting, his mother allegedly told him to shoot Brown’s girlfriend and then tried to take the gun from her son. The teen pushed his mother away and both left in a car and drove home together, prosecutors said.
