On Father's Day, June 18th, a tragic altercation occurred in a Chicago restaurant. 35-year-old Carlishia Hood was waiting in line for food when Jeremy Brown, 32, began to yell at her. Brown's words quickly escalated to physical violence, and surveillance camera footage captured Hood being punched multiple times.
In response, Hood sent a text message to her 14-year-old son, who was waiting in their blue Lincoln Nautilus. The teen witnessed the incident at the restaurant's doorway and quickly retrieved a handgun from his pocket. He shot Brown in the back twice and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Cook County prosecutors charged both Hood and her son with first-degree murder. However, on June 22nd, Cook County Judge Barbara Dawkins ruled that Brown was shot as he attempted to flee the restaurant after punching Hood.
The investigation revealed that Hood had a valid gun owner's license, and her son was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm. He appeared in juvenile court and was ordered held without bail.
Christopher Tru Hood created a GoFundMe campaign to help the Hood family with legal and attorney fees, but it has since been taken down. The Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx's office released a statement that they were unable to meet their burden of proof in the prosecution of these cases, and all charges were dismissed based on facts and additional evidence.
