CHICAGO (STMW) -- Bond was denied on Sunday for a man charged with killing an 18-year-old man and wounding a teenage boy in a shooting in the West Garfield Park neighborhood in August.
Mark Clay, 20, was charged with murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with the Aug. 21 shooting, according to Chicago Police.
Clay got into an argument with 18-year-old Cory Fisher and a 16-year-old boy on the street in the 3800 block of West Lexington about 6:12 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.
