The man suspected of providing his teenage niece with the gun she allegedly used to kill another girl was charged late Tuesday with first-degree murder in the case, police said.
Donnell Flora, of the 8300 block of South Buffalo, also accompanied his 14-year-old niece — the alleged shooter — to the location of the shooting, police said. Flora is also charged with aggravated battery, police said.
On Monday afternoon, the 14-year-old girl pulled a gun from her waistband, authorities said, and aimed it at Endia Martin, who is the same age as the alleged shooter.
When the teen pulled the trigger, it jammed, prosecutors said during a bond hearing Tuesday for the alleged shooter.
She handed the gun to someone in the group she was with who fixed the weapon and handed it back to the girl, who then fatally shot Endia, also 14, in the back, prosecutors alleged.
