Murder charges in Chatham homicide


Authorities accuse Calvin Marshall [19 yrs old], of the 5600 block of South Justine Avenue, of killing Miguel Russell, 29, on June 4, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.

That morning officers responded to a residence in the 600 block of East 87th Street at about 2 a.m. and found Russell dead with a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators believe Russell was in the residence with two other people, one of whom drew a gun during an argument and shot the victim, police said at the time.

Marshall is due in bond court today.
