A security guard was charged Friday in connection with a shootout that killed a grandmother in the Bronzeville neighborhood.
Victor Brown fired at a man who had shot him, although that man was already at least a block away at the time, Cook County prosecutors said in charging Brown with murder Friday. One of the bullets killed Bobbye Johnson as she walked in the 200 block of East 35th Street around 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Bobbye Johnson, 55, was walking in the 200 block of East 35th Street when she was hit in the chest by one of the dozen or so shots that were fired, according to police.
“She loved God, loved church, loved her grandkids,” one of Johnson’s children said in a statement. “She was so sweet to everyone, even if you did anything wrong she would always have the best to say.”
