Two Charged In Shooting Death

Michael McNabb, 32, of Chicago, and Stephen Gilbert, 29, of Alsip, were each charged with first-degree murder in the Wednesday night slaying of 17-year-old Tyrone Lawson at the Morgan Park, Simeon game.

The shooting occurred at approximately 9:20 p.m. following the contest between the two schools.  Lawson has been reported to have been shot in the back twice while trying to run away.

McNabb and Gilbert were arrested a short time later after the Jeep they were riding in was pulled over by Chicago police following an alert put out by University police.

McNabb and Gilbert will have a bond hearing today.
