Leon Taylor, 33, was charged late Monday with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of his son, 16-year-old Leontaye Taylor, officials said.
Police and prosecutors allege the father and son were in a "physical altercation" in Leon Taylor's apartment in the 100 block of North Parkside shortly after 8:30 p.m. Saturday, authorities said.
Leon Taylor was one of three teen boys shot and killed in Chicago last weekend. Earlier this month, the Tribune reported that while killings have decreased citywide this year, the number of youth homicide victims has risen each year since 2019.
