On Monday, police announced 52-year-old Michael Korosa of Chicago, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and aggravated battery.
Police said he was arrested Saturday after he was identified as one of the men suspected of beating 9-year-old Elijah Flores on Aug 10.
According to police sources, Elijah was exiting a Green Line train around 11:15 a.m. with a 22-year-old male.
Police said the 22-year-old man was arguing with two other men at the Clinton Station in the 500 block of West Lake Street when, during the argument, the two men chased Elijah and the 22-year-old from the platform.
According to police sources, the 22-year-old picked up Elijah because “he was not keeping up.”
One of the two men then hit the 22-year-old in the back with an object, which caused him and Elijah to fall down a flight of stairs. Police said the 22-year-old landed on top of Elijah, knocking him out and fracturing his skull in the process.
Elijah was taken to Lurie Children’s Hospital in critical condition, where he died six days later.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Elijah died from blunt force injuries to the head and ruled his death a homicide.
A GoFundMe page was created to help Elijah’s family cover medical and funeral expenses.
No additional information was provided regarding Korosa’s next court appearance.
