Overview
- Chicago police say a 15-year-old girl was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and related felonies after investigators identified her as one of several people who pushed a man from a moving Red Line car.
- Video footage and an internal police memo reported by local outlets are said to show a suspect opening a side door and three people pushing the victim from the train.
- The victim, 29-year-old Kyle T. Bickham, was on his way home from an overnight Amazon shift and died after falling onto the electrified third rail and being struck by an oncoming train.
- Police say the incident occurred on Sept. 7 near the 69th Street station and that two other suspects remain at large as detectives urge witnesses or parents to come forward.
- A juvenile judge found probable cause and ordered the teen held in custody, which means most proceedings and records will be restricted under Illinois juvenile rules even as prosecutors weigh next steps.
