Tony Mason III was held without bail after charged with numerous felonies including first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder, armed robbery and unlawful use of a weapon stemming from a Sunday shooting that left 17-year-old Jordan Nixon dead.
A file photo shows a crime scene blocked off by the Chicago Police Department.
According to Cook County prosecutors, Nixon was in the back passenger seat of a vehicle around 2 p.m. Sunday with four other friends — one of whom had arranged to buy a pair of shoes from Mason through an online marketplace known as OfferUp. That victim drove his mother’s Jeep to that location along with Nixon and three other friends, all of whom were 17 to 19 years old and unarmed, prosecutors said. Mason allegedly verified the make and model of the victim’s vehicle through OfferUp, and when the group arrived, Mason approached the passenger side of the Jeep carrying the shoes in a bag.
