A man is charged in the deadly shooting of a 60-year-old man on the CTA Red Line train last weekend.
Issac Anderson, 26, was arrested Wednesday in the 0-99 block of West 87th Street in Chatham in connection with the murder of the man four days earlier.
Anderson then took a can of Pepsi out of the victim's backpack, threw the backpack onto the seat of a train, went back across the aisle to where he had been sitting before, and drank some of the victim's Pepsi, McCord said. Anderson ran off the train at the 87th Street stop, while the victim tried to get up and pull the emergency cord – but ended up falling on the floor of the train, McCord said.
The entirety of the chain of events was caught on high-quality, high-resolution video, McCord said. The video shows Anderson with a goatee wearing a distinctive black, gray, and white puffy Nike jacket with a hood, a tight black Polo Ralph Lauren hat with stripes, black North Face sweat pants, black puffy boots, and thick, distinctive glasses, McCord said. He is holding a cellphone in the video, McCord said.
Anderson's address on his ID was the same address as the one registered for his Ventra card he used to get on the train and the bus, McCord said. A contact card was drafted, but police did not arrest Anderson at that point, McCord said. The day before the shooting, Anderson had also been spotted on video in the same distinctive clothing, using his same Ventra card to get on the CTA, McCord said.
