Homewood man charged in beating death on Far South Side

CHICAGO (WGN) — A south suburban man is accused in the death of a 76-year-old man found severely beaten at a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus shelter on the city’s Far South Side in September.

Malcom Wilson, 32, of Homewood faces one felony count of first-degree murder and murder with a strong probability of death following the events of Sept. 8 at 95th and Halsted. Police say it was there that officers responded to a report of a man who had been found in the area with apparent head trauma.

The 76-year-old was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police say they believed someone pushed the victim to the ground and battered him before fleeing the scene.

Cook County prosecutors also charged Wilson with two felony counts of vehicular hijacking and one felony count of possession of a stolen vehicle.

CPD provided no booking photo of Wilson.
