Phillip Pasco Clark allegedly walked in and shot Morris at the counter of Fixins Soul Kitchen, then fled in a getaway car driven by an unknown individual. Santana Jermaine Kelly is accused of helping plan the shooting and setting the getaway car ablaze the next day. If convicted, Kelly could face a potential maximum 100-year to life prison sentence, while Clark could face a maximum 85 years to life in prison. Both men have pleaded not guilty and are expected to appear in court again on April 25.

Lawsuit Filed by Chicago Mother Whose Murder Charges Were Dropped in Restaurant Shooting

A Chicago mother, Carlishia Hood, who had murder charges dropped against her and her 14-year-old son in a restaurant shooting, has filed a lawsuit claiming "great harm" to her family. The charges were dropped after new video evidence showed a violent confrontation between Hood and the victim, Jeremy Brown, prior to his shooting death. Hood's attorneys allege malicious prosecution, false arrest, and intentional infliction of emotional distress in their complaint against the City of Chicago. They argue that the shooting was an act of self-defense and claim that Brown had a history of violence against African-American women.
