A man has been charged hours after a mass shooting, which Mayor Lori Lightfoot called an “incredible act of cowardice,” wounded 13 people attending a memorial party in Englewood Sunday, including a 16-year-old boy who had been in critical condition.
On Sunday evening, police announced charges were filed against 37-year-old Marciano White, of Beverly. He has been charged with a felony count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon but authorities did not specify his role in the incident.
According to Cook County court records, White has two felony drug charges, the first a 2006 narcotics conviction and the other in 2007 for possession of cocaine. He remains in custody and is due in Central Bond Court on Monday.
The incident stemmed from a dispute inside the home, Chief of Patrol Fred Waller said at a press conference Sunday morning. Shots were fired inside, and people scattered outside, he said.
