UPDATES WITH BOND, NEW DETAILS
A 22-year-old man paroled last year for an armed robbery on Valentine’s Day in 2013 has been charged with killing two men on the same holiday this year in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood on the South Side.
Marquise Hollerway faces two counts of first-degree murder for the Feb. 14 shooting inside an apartment in the 5000 block of South Champlain, according to Chicago Police.
A neighbor found 25-year-old Jeremy D. Hunter with a gunshot wound to the head and 26-year-old Steven Tate with multiple wounds just before 11 a.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. They were dead at the scene. Hunter lived on the block where he was killed. Tate lived in the 6500 block of South Drexel.
Hollerway was arrested at his home Thursday morning in the 8100 block of South Sangamon, police said.
He was released from the Big Muddy River Correctional Center in downstate Ina on parole in June 2015, as part of a four-year sentence for an armed robbery conviction in Chicago on Valentine’s Day in 2013, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections and Cook County Circuit Court records. His home address at the time of that arrest was listed a block north of where the 2016 killings happened.
A judge ordered Hollerway held without bond at a Saturday hearing, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office. He is due in court again Monday.
