(CBS) -- A 21-year-old man has been charged in connection with a homicide in Ford Heights last February, the Cook County Sheriff's office said.

On Feb. 12, Cook County Sheriff's police were alerted to a shooting in the 1300 block of East Lincoln Highway in Ford Heights. Officers found a man unresponsive inside a Jeep Cherokee, police said.

The victim, 35-year-old Michael Armstrong, was shot multiple times and transported to a hospital where he died.
