Timothy Jones, arrested for the murder of a pregnant teenager.
Charinez Jefferson was seven-months pregnant when she was shot and killed.
Chicago - An alleged gang member charged with
fatally shooting a seven-month pregnant teenager
ignored her pleas and called her a ***** before gunning her down in Marquette Park last week, Cook County prosecutors said.
Timothy Jones, 18, was ordered held without bail Monday for the Aug. 16 murder of Charinez Jefferson.
Jefferson, 17, was shot in the head, buttocks and chest while she was walking back from the store with a member of Jones rival gang, prosecutors said.
Jones adversary fled the scene when Jones exited a vehicle and started firing at him and Jefferson in the 3000 block of West 64th Street, Assistant States Attorney John Dillon said.
Jefferson, fending for herself, begged Jones not to shoot and told him she was pregnant, Dillon said.
But Jones allegedly opened fire and called her a *****. After shooting her numerous times, Jones continued to shoot her as she lay defenseless on the ground, Dillon said.
Jones then got back into the car he arrived in and fled the scene. He was later arrested at his home, in the 6300 block of South Rockwell Street and was identified by witnesses as the person who shot and killed Jefferson.
Jeffersons baby, a boy, was delivered by doctors and survived the attack.
Jeffersons family refused comment following Mondays bond hearing.
However, Jones cousin Stanley Jones, contended police arrested the wrong man. Stanley Jones said his cousin was recuperating from a recent gunshot wound to his leg. He denied Timothy Jones was in a gang.
Im positive they have the wrong man, Stanley Jones said.
He barely can walk. He just got shot.
Timothy Jones was currently on probation for a 2010 burglary conviction.
He also has a lengthy juvenile background, according to the states attorneys office.
He was found delinquent for a burglary in 2009 and for a possession of a stolen motor vehicle in 2008.
