Man Charged With Fatal Ford Heights Shooting

CHICAGO (STMW) -- Bond was denied Monday for a man charged with the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man Friday morning in south suburban Ford Heights.

Duboris Harden, 22, faces first-degree murder charges for the 10:30 a.m. shooting in the 1400 block of 14th Place in Ford Heights, according to the Cook County sheriff's office.

Officers responding to a call of shots fired found Tyjuan Willingham on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds, according to sheriff's police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Willingham was taken to Franciscan St. James Health in Chicago Heights, where he died at 2:18 p.m., authorities said. The shooting happened down the street from his Ford Heights home in the 1400 block of Deer Creek Drive.

Harden was arrested at the scene, sheriff's police said. The Ford Heights resident appeared in court Monday, where a judge ordered him held without bond. His next court date is scheduled for Wednesday.
