Charges dropped in Chicago restaurant shooting due to new evidence.
Murder charges against a mother and her 14-year-old son, who were accused of shooting a man at a Chicago restaurant, have been dropped due to "emerging evidence." The incident took place at a Maxwell Street Express earlier this month, and the scene was captured on surveillance video. The mother allegedly ordered her son to shoot the man after an argument turned physical, and prosecutors said she told him to keep shooting and kill the man. The mother and son surrendered to police and were charged with first-degree murder, but the charges were dropped due to new evidence.
