Seandell Holliday, the 16-year-old shot and killed at 'the Bean' in Millennium Park, worried about Chicago crime and living past his 21st birthday.
CHICAGO -- A 17-year-old has been charged as an adult in the fatal shooting of another teen at"The Bean" in Millennium Park Saturday night.
"Ten goals he wants to accomplish, and he wants to live 'til he's 21," Holliday said."That's all these kids have to sit up and worry about: that they're going to live. That's a sad situation. That why I don't want my kid outside. I never thought it would be my son.""They came to the area as part of a larger group gathering that had been advertised on social media," said Cook County, Asst. State's Attorney James Murphy.
Holliday died at the park that night. At a vigil in Roseland Sunday, those who knew him recalled a thoughtful young man concerned about the violence in Chicago. He also participated in the Champs Male Mentoring Program.Marion Richardson was given a $250,000 bond for the shooting death of Seandell Holliday at "the Bean" in Chicago.
Detectives said Richardson was carrying a Glock 42 model of that pistol Saturday night, also equipped with a laser targeting attachment. That laser accessory resulted in one of the three charges the teenager now faces, including second degree murder.
