Guilty Verdict for Chicago Murder Suspects
What we know:
Michael Washington and Eric Adams, both of Urbana, were each charged with one felony count of first-degree murder in the shooting death of 24-year-old Brittany Hill.
The verdict was reached on Thursday, April 3.
Their charges stem from a shooting on May 28, 2019, in the 1200 block of North Mason Avenue.
Hill was talking with two acquaintances outside a car just before 9 a.m. while holding her daughter when Washington and Adams pulled up in a silver Chevy Impala, got out of the car, and shot her in the upper body, authorities said.
Hill attempted to shield her daughter by hiding behind parked cars.
After the shooting, she was taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where she was pronounced dead. Her daughter was not injured.
What's next:
Washington and Adams are due back in court on May 13 for a post-trial motion.
