A 16-year-old boy who felt his murdered friend was "disrespected" on Facebook fatally shot the poster, in what became this year’s 200th homicide, according to prosecutors and records.
Landon Allen, 16, appeared Friday before Judge Donald Panarese Jr., who set bail at $1 million during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.
Allen, who is charged as an adult with murder, is accused of fatally shooting Jermaine Brown, 23, on May 8 in the 5400 block of South Indiana Avenue, authorities said.
An ongoing dispute erupted after Brown posted something on Facebook about a mutual friend of theirs who had been murdered weeks before, prosecutors said.
