CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Murder charges have been filed against a South Side man accused of shooting two former co-workers at Navy Pier on Tuesday afternoon.
The man is identified as 36-years-old Raylon East, a resident of the 2300 block of East 70th Street.
He’s been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of unlawful possession and use of a weapon by a felon.
