Chicago police said Monday they had identified the suspected triggerman in the execution-style killing of a 9-year-old boy that shocked the violence-scarred city this past November.
Dwight Boone-Doty, 22, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Tyshawn Lee, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
The child was playing basketball in a park on the city's far south side on the afternoon of Nov. 2 when he was lured into a nearby alley and shot in the head. Seven .40-caliber bullet casings were found at the scene.

Yes, and his father will be living with that pain for the rest of his life.
I'd rather just use taxpayer $$ to buy a few bullets and put the dude down. No reason to clothe, feed, and shelter him for the rest of his miserable life.
He was supposed to be halfway through a gun charge when he killed this kid and others.
Yes.
There is no reason at all that violent criminals and/or criminals who commit crimes with firearms should EVER be let out of jail.
