UPDATES WITH CHARGES
The suspected killer of a Cook County judge has been charged with his murder, authorities announced Thursday afternoon.
Earl Wilson was charged with one count of first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Judge Raymond Myles earlier this month, according to Chicago Police. A press conference detailing the charges was scheduled for Thursday evening.
Myles and his girlfriend were shot about 4:50 a.m. on April 10 outside his home in the 9400 block of South Forest, authorities said. Myles was pronounced dead later that morning at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
The alleged getaway driver in the shooting, 37-year-old Joshua Smith, was charged earlier this month with first-degree murder, aggravated battery and obstructing police. He is being held without bond at the Cook County Jail.
