(Chicago = Yonhap News) Correspondent Hyun Kim = An American father in his 30s was arrested and indicted on charges of shooting and killing his teenage son.

According to Chicago media on the 21st (local time), defendant Leon Taylor (33), who lives in the Austin district on the west side of Chicago, is accused of shooting his son Leon Tay (16) several times to death at his home around 8:30 p.m. on the 18th. I’m receiving it.

The police said, “The argument between father and son escalated into a physical fight,” and “Eventually, Taylor took out a gun and shot his son, Leontay, in the chest, and Leontay died at the scene.”

The Chicago Tribune explained, “If you look at the mug shot, the braids that Taylor had attached to her scalp were torn off in several places.”

There were three more people in the house when the incident occurred, but they could not prevent the tragedy.

One of the witnesses told the police officers who responded to the scene after receiving a report that “Taylor took the pistol he used in the crime and left the house,” and the police reportedly called Taylor and advised him to turn himself in.

Taylor surrendered to the local police station around 10 p.m. on the night of the incident, and prosecutors charged him with first-degree murder on the 20th.

At a hearing held on the 21st, the court ordered Taylor to be ‘imprisoned’.

Illinois, where Chicago is located, was the first state in the country to implement a judicial reform (abolition of the cash bail system) that requires defendants arrested and indicted on criminal charges to be tried without detention according to the ‘principle of presumption of innocence’ until the trial results are announced. However, if the crime is judged to be serious, the person may be imprisoned according to a court order.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, 2,826 people have been shot and 585 have died so far this year.

Chicago police said, “Less than 10% of cases are due to domestic discord.”
