After an 8-year-old girl was killed while jumping rope, and her 7-year-old cousin critically wounded, Steshawn Brisco bragged that he and a second person “let loose on 107th Street,” prosecutors said in court today.
When asked if he knew little girls were present, he allegedly said: “We didn’t care. We let the whole .40 clip go,” according to Cook County state’s attorney prosecutors.
A judge denied bond for Brisco, who turned 18 Saturday.
He is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm in connection with the shooting Tuesday that claimed the life of Tanaja Stokes and sent Ariana Jones to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head.
She has since been released from the hospital.
Brisco and a second shooter allegedly rode up on bicycles to the intersection of 107th and Indiana Tuesday and began shooting in the direction of a group of males.
The group ran to take cover after the first shot, but Brisco and the other person continued shooting, according to prosecutors. Brisco was on felony probation for a gun conviction at the time of the shooting, prosecutors said.
Police recovered .40 caliber shell casings from the scene, prosecutors said. They continue to search for the second gunman.
