Second person charged in murder of retired police officer on Chicago's West Side
CHICAGO — A second person has been charged in the murder of a retired police officer on Chicago's West Side last week.Police arrested the 17-year-old boy on Thursday in the 2400 block of East 75th Street. He was charged with one felony count of first-degree murder and one felony count of murder with a strong probability of death/injury. The charges come on the same day of the wake for Larry Neuman, 73, and just days after the first suspect, Lazarius Watt, 16, turned himself in.
The second assailant approached him and was only feet away when he said, 'Freeze!' and reached to grab Neuman, prosecutors said. Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Antoinette Ursitti said Neuman pushed the worker out of the way as the attackers approached. He backed up and reached for his own gun when he was shot. Neuman did fire a single round for his own gun but fell to the ground, prosecutors said.
