Teen Charged in Chicago Soccer-Field Shooting as NYPD Seeks 3 in East Harlem Killing

Prosecutors say Lime scooter data paired with surveillance video helped identify the Chicago suspect.

Overview

  • Cook County prosecutors identified the accused as 17-year-old Marlon Colin and charged him with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and armed robbery; a judge ordered him detained.
  • Investigators say CPD cameras showed a suspect leaving on a Lime scooter and company records tied rentals to Colin, leading to a photo lineup in which the wounded 17-year-old identified him; the victim remains hospitalized after multiple surgeries.
  • Police initially framed the Chicago shooting as a robbery, though witnesses previously described a dispute near a youth soccer game; officials also noted similar scooter-related robberies in the area with no charges yet in those cases.
  • In New York, 69-year-old Robin Wright was fatally struck by a stray bullet near East 110th Street and Madison Avenue, and detectives are searching for three men in dark hoodies and masks described by their clothing and sneakers.
  • Separately in Chicago, CPD says officers investigating railcar thefts were rammed by a vehicle before shots were fired and a pursuit ensued, leaving three officers and two suspects injured as COPA reviews the use of force.
