CHICAGO — An arrest has been made in connection with a fatal shooting that unfolded on the city’s West Side in early December.

Chicago police say 29-year-old Kameron Freeman, a Humboldt Park resident, was taken into custody on Thursday in the 1300 block of North Pulaski Road.

Authorities say he has since been charged with two felonies, including armed robbery and murder or other forcible felony.

The charges stem from Freeman’s alleged role in a deadly shooting that left a 39-year-old man dead on Dec. 3, 2023.

Police say it all happened just after 5:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of North Lotus Avenue, in Austin.

According to police, multiple people took part in the deadly shooting, and Freeman is just one of the alleged participants. Police have not provided details on how many people were involved or if any other arrests have been made.

Freeman appeared in court on Saturday for a detention hearing.

Authorities have not yet identified the victim killed.

The U.S. Department of Justice and 30 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment, Ticketmaster’s parent company, for alleged monopolistic practices.
