A man has been charged with fatally shooting a woman earlier this month in Bronzeville on the South Side.

Elijah Clippard, 31, faces a murder charge in the June 15 shooting of Crystal Crockett, Chicago police said.

Clippard allegedly shot the 21-year-old woman in the head around 6:15 a.m. in the 4500 block of South Wabash, police said.

A witness heard gunfire and found the woman lying in an alley, police said. Crockett, of Bronzeville, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested Clippard Wednesday in the Eden Green housing development on the Far South Side, where he lived.

He was expected to appear in court later Thursday.
