ROSELLE, Ill. - A Chicago man has been sentenced to 20 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for fatally shooting a 22-year-old man in 2019.
Brandon Foster, 28, entered a plea of guilty to second-degree murder — unreasonable belief of self-defense — Monday morning.
At about 4:10 p.m. on Jan. 13, 2019, Roselle police officers responded to a 911 call for a report of a male victim down in a parking lot near 225 Springhill Drive.
