3rd Suspect Charged

  • A third man has been charged with murder in the slaying last month of Chicago Police Officer Thomas Wortham IV.

    Marcus Floyd, 19, of the 3100 block of W. Lexington St., was charged with two counts of felony murder in the slaying of Wortham and the shooting death of Brian Floyd. Brian Floyd was Marcus Floyd's cousin, and was fatally shot while trying to steal Wortham's new motorcycle outside Wortham's parents' Chatham home.

    Marcus Floyd also faces a charge of attempted armed robbery and discharge of a firearm.

Too bad we've moved beyond the days of a quick trail, a cigarette and a blindfold. This might drag out for a few years yet even though it's seems like a pretty open-and-shut case.
