An 18-year-old man was charged Thursday with the June double murder of a mother and her five-year-old son in the South Side Back of the Yards neighborhood, but remains hospitalized due to injuries he suffered in a separate shooting less than 24 hours after the murder, police said.
Antonio Lewis, of the 5500 block of South Winchester Avenue, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder, according to police News Affairs.
Five-year-old Sterling Sims and his mother Chevonne Brown, 31, were shot inside a house in the 5300 block of South Winchester Avenue about 2:40 a.m. June 28, police said.
Lewis attempted to shoot Brown’s second son, an 11-year-old, when his weapon malfunctioned, police said.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
