Two 18-year-old Chicago men are expected in court Thursday accused of fatally shooting a 34-year-old man in July in the Englewood neighborhood.
Eugene Sanders, 18, and Dajon Neely, 18, were charged with first-degree murder after they allegedly participated in the fatal shooting of Dion Butler, 34, police said.
Butler was shot in the neck at around 1 a.m. on July 4, 2024 in the 6200 block of South Laflin Street, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
Butler, of the same block on Laflin Street, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 1:21 a.m. that morning, according to police.
Sanders, of the 6100 block of South Marshfield Avenue and Neely, of the 10900 block of South Church Street, were scheduled for a detention hearing later Thursday at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.
