From CWB Chicago: Man charged with murder of 7-year-old was awaiting trial for other felonies

CWB Chicago, which does the reporting that the local media should be doing, is keeping track of people charged with a shooting while awaiting trial for a serious felony. So far there have been 18 of them and the most recent is a man charged in the murder of a 7-year-old-girl. 

From that site:

Prosecutors on Sunday charged a suburban man in connection with the fatal shooting of 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams at a West Side McDonald’s drive-thru restaurant and trying to carjack a family from Las Vegas on the Eisenhower Expressway.
Marion Lewis had two felony juvenile cases pending — one for burglary and looting, the other for possessing a stolen motor vehicle — when he participated in the murder and other crimes this month, prosecutors said. He was previously convicted in juvenile court of a gun charge, possessing a stolen motor vehicle, criminal trespass to vehicle, burglary to auto, and attempted residential burglary as a juvenile, authorities said.
