Feb. 01--A 27-year-old parolee was ordered held without bail Saturday after he was charged with killing one man and critically wounding a second earlier this week in the West Pullman neighborhood, officials said.
Christopher Cage, of the 300 block of West 109th Place, was charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder, Chicago police said in a statement late Friday.
Cage allegedly fatally shot a 24-year-old man in the head "execution-style" after getting into an argument with him after a dice game during a party at a house in the 11900 block of South Yale Avenue, according to Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Bob Groebner.
The man was identified as Mayron Collier, of the 10000 block of South Pulaski Road, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Cage then shot more than 10 rounds into a crowd at the house before shooting a 39-year-old man, Groebner said. That man was shot in the chest and taken to Advocate Christ Hospital, police said. Groebner said Saturday the man was on life support.
Witnesses flagged a police car near the scene Thursday, and Cage was arrested. Witnesses identified Cage as the shooter, and Cage gave a video recorded confession to the shootings, Groebner said.
In June, Cage was released from state prison on parole from a 2010 aggravated vehicular hijacking with a weapon conviction, according to records.
Cage's next court date is Feb. 2.
