18-year-old man charged after man shot and killed in South Shore

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A man has been charged with shooting and killing a 61-year-old man in the South Shore neighborhood on Friday. 

Jeremiah Bush, 18, is facing one felony count of first degree murder and one felony count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in the death of Kenneth Mickey.

At Bush's bond hearing on Monday, prosecutors said Mickey was using the ATM at a gas station at 76th and Marquette around 12:30 p.m. on Friday, when Bush and another man entered the gas station. The two then exited the station and waited for Mickey outside, where they talked to him before all three left the gas station.

Prosecutors said it's believed Mickey knew Bush or the other man before the encounter at the gas station.

Surveillance video shows the three walking south on Exchange Avenue, then west on 76th Place, and south on Marquette Avenue, where witnesses saw Mickey with Bush and the other man before hearing four to five gunshots, according to prosecutors. Witnesses then saw Bush and the other man standing over Mickey, who was taken to South Shore Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Surveillance video tracked Bush and the other man heading south on Marquette Avenue after the shooting before getting on a CTA bus, according to prosecutors.

Bush went to the area of 80th Street and Vernon Avenue, where members of a carjacking taskforce had already set up surveillance for an unrelated investigation, and spotted Bush as he entered a home, and recognized him as one of the two people wanted for shooting Mickey.

About 40 minutes later, after Bush exited the home, police approached him for questioning, and he ran off, and try to conceal a gun inside of his jacket as he put it under a porch. Officers caught up to Bush and arrested him, and recovered the gun he hid under the porch.

Ballistics testing on 14 shell casings recovered from the scene where Mickey was shot matched the gun Bush had hidden under the porch, according to prosecutors.

During a search of the home Bush had been in, police recovered a red backpack he had been seen carrying at the time of the shooting, as well as the clothing he had been wearing at the time.

Prosecutors said Bush urinated on his hands while in police lockup, but a test of his jacket revealed gunshot residue. 

Bush was ordered held without bail and is due back in court on April 25.
