Man charged in fatal shooting at gas station on South Side

Jonathan Robinson, 41, faces one felony count of first-degree murder and one felony count of manufacturing and delivering more than 30 grams of marijuana.

Police said a 40-year-old man became engaged in a verbal altercation with Robinson around 1:15 a.m. Wednesday at a gas station in the 7400 block of South Stony Island Avenue.

After the altercation escalated and became physical, police say Robinson took out a gun and fired shots, hitting the victim several times in the body before fleeing in a white vehicle. The victim was treated by the Chicago Fire Department but was pronounced dead at the scene.

Robinson was arrested several hours later in the 7200 block of South Cornell Avenue after being identitifed as the offender in the fatal shooting.

He is scheduled for a detention hearing Friday.
