| Good morning, Chicago. Prosecutors said that a bicyclist tried pedaling away before he was fatally shot while riding near Grant Park in the early hours of June 16, according to new information presented in court following the deadly shooting last week. Malik Jones was riding a bike in the 300 block of East Jackson Drive around 12:15 a.m. when he heard shots and felt pain. The 27-year-old was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead. The medical examiner’s office ruled that Jones died due to multiple gunshot wounds in a homicide. Eighteen hours after the shooting, 18-year-old Eliel
Argudo-Tenorio was arrested in connection with the attack. The Oak Park man faces one count of first-degree murder. State prosecutors have
since provided a more detailed account of what allegedly occurred leading up to the shooting. Read the full story from the Tribune’s Tess Kenny.
