A convicted felon has been charged with fatally shooting a woman at a funeral reception in Englewood while free on electronic monitoring in three pending cases.
Marcell Hunter, 27, had a history of racking up felony charges and skipping out on court hearings before he gunned down Nikki Conner on June 21, prosecutors disclosed during a bail hearing Thursday.late that night in the 5900 block of South Bishop Street, where a group of people had gathered after a funeral that Conner had attended earlier in the day.
As Conner explained that they were just talking and were taking off, Hunter shot her once in the head and two more times in the legs, prosecutors said.Conner’s friend was later shown Facebook profiles belonging to people who were on the block and recognized Hunter, prosecutors said. She brought the Facebook photos to police investigators, who created a lineup with a different photo of Hunter.
Hunter was arrested Wednesday at his home in South Shore, prosecutors said. He initially claimed he didn’t know anything about the shooting and later requested a lawyer when investigators presented him with the electronic monitoring evidence. He was held in custody on the escape charge until February, when he was released on a recognizance bond and placed back on electronic monitoring.
