AdvertisementBy Chicago TribuneMar 03, 2021 at 5:10 pmA 17-year-old has been charged with shooting to death a teen who the gunman and his getaway driver mistakenly thought was a rival gang member, according to authorities.Authorities arrested the 17-year-old Tuesday, saying he was identified as the person who on Sept. 26 opened fire on another 17-year-old, who the Cook County medical examiner’s office said was identified as Avion Aldridge.AdvertisementHakeim Stone, who was charged on suspicion of first-degree murder, was automatically transferred to adult court and appeared before a judge for a bond hearing Wednesday, where he was ordered held without bail, said Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman for the state’s attorney’s office. Davion Jones, 18, was arrested in January and charged with murder on suspicion of being the getaway driver in Aldridge’s killing, officials said at the time.AdvertisementJones, who was 17 at the time, and a second person, now identified as Stone, who carried out the shooting, went after Aldridge because they believed he was a rival gang member, although he was not, prosecutors .Aldridge “was innocently walking down the street at the time that he was shot,” according to prosecutors.Aldridge had been in an alley in the 200 block of North Leamington Avenue about 11:10 a.m. that day when police said someone walked up, pulled out weapons and fired shots at him. Aldridge was shot at least once in the upper torso and pronounced dead at the scene, police said.Prosecutors said the shooting was not captured on surveillance camera, but officers reviewed video that showed two men in what turned out to be a stolen silver Honda Accord, before and after the shooting. Investigators found a running silver Honda Accord two or three blocks from the vacant lot where Aldridge was found shot.Police checked the stolen vehicle for fingerprints and one was found on the passenger side door. It was run through a database and came back a match for Stone, prosecutors said at Jones’ January court appearance.Witnesses identified Stone as the gunman and he was arrested in Clark County, Nevada, on Feb. 18 after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was extradited back to Chicago from Las Vegas on Tuesday, prosecutors said Wednesday. Chicago Tribune’s Megan Crepeau contributed.AdvertisementTwitter Advertisement
