A tragic incident unfolded at a hot dog stand resulting in charges filed against a woman and her 14-year-old son.
Carlisha Hood, who possesses a valid FOID and CCL, is now facing a felony murder charge, along with an additional count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Meanwhile, her teenage son is being charged with felony murder.
Law enforcement authorities arrested the duo on Wednesday in the 700 block of West 111th Street, identifying them as the individuals involved in the fatal shooting at Maxwell Street Express.
The incident occurred on South Halsted Street around 11 p.m. on that fateful day.
According to court documents, Hood entered Maxwell Street Express to order food while her son remained in the car parked outside.
Shortly after her entry, an argument erupted between Hood and a 32-year-old man.
Allegedly, Hood communicated with her son through text messages, signaling him to join them.
Consequently, the son entered the restaurant during the ongoing altercation.
As tensions escalated, the argument turned physical when the man repeatedly struck Hood in the head.
At this point, according to the documents, Hood's son brandished a firearm and fired shots at the man, hitting him in the back.
Shockingly, a witness present at the scene reportedly laughed and encouraged the incident.
Subsequently, the wounded man fled the restaurant, pursued by the 14-year-old boy who fired additional shots.
The victim sustained two gunshot wounds to the back and tragically succumbed to his injuries shortly after.
According to court documents, Hood then redirected her attention to the witness, allegedly instructing her son to shoot them as well.
The documents further claim that Hood tried to take the gun from her son, but he resisted and pushed her away.
Following this, the pair hastily fled the scene in their vehicle.
Both Hood and her son surrendered to the authorities and were taken into custody.
Notably, neither of them has a reported criminal background, adding to the perplexity surrounding the case.
As a result, they now face charges commensurate with their alleged involvement in this devastating incident.
