The teen arrested after the fatal Saturday evening shooting of 16-year-old Seandell Holliday in Millennium Park appeared in court Monday where he was charged as an adult.Marion Richardson, 17, was arrested shortly after the shooting on charges of second-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon stemming from the fatal shooting.
According to Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy, Richardson and his girlfriend went to the park at around 7:30 p.m. Saturday as part of a large group gathering known as a “trend” that was advertised on social media. That group began following Richardson and an argument broke out near “The Bean” sculpture, as his girlfriend attempted to pull him away from the others, according to Murphy, who said Holliday then approached Richardson from behind and jumped on his back.
Richardson allegedly attempted to run from the park, but was immediately chased by a large number of Chicago police officers who were standing in the area. Murphy said those officers saw Richardson drop the handgun while running, then stop and pick it back up before he was detained on the grass inside Millennium Park.
