A 17-year-old offender is now also facing murder charges for the West Side shooting death of retired CPD Officer Larry Neuman earlier this month after 16-year-old Lazarius Watt was charged as an adult, police said Friday.
A second teen is now also facing murder charges for the shooting death of a retired Chicago police officer, police said Friday.
This comes after 16-year-old Lazarius Watt was charged as an adult in the shooting death of retired CPD Officer Larry Neuman earlier this month on the city's West Side.A 17-year-old male offender is facing two felony charges for murder, Chicago police said. He was also charged with an unrelated robbery that happened on November 21, 2023 in West Garfield Park.
The second offender's name was not released by police. It was not immediately known if he would also be charged as an adult with Watt., investigators said Watt and the other 17-year-old gunman approached Neuman outside his West Garfield Park home last Thursday as he was in the process of paying someone for helping to mow his lawn."The victim backed up and reached for his own gun when the co-defendant shot the victim," said Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Anne McCord.
Neuman managed to get off one shot, but was hit twice and later died from his injuries at an area hospital. The suspects ran away. Detectives say the retired cop pushed the landscaper out of the way, saving his life as the gunfire erupted.Visitation for Neuman will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday at St. Michael Missionary Baptist Church, 4106 W. Monroe St., where Neuman was a member for 30 years as well as a pastor. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Michael.
