A Kenwood man has been charged in connection with an attempted robbery that led to the stabbing death of a 37-year-old man in an Englewood gas station earlier this week, according to police.
Police have accused Tommery Moore, 20, of robbing a 36-year-old man at gunpoint Wednesday morning alongside an accomplice identified by the Cook County medical examiner’s office as Toron Davis.
Moore faces single counts of armed kidnapping, armed robbery and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, along with three counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
The robbery victim was inside a gas station in the 7600 block of South Halsted Street late Wednesday morning when Moore and Davis walked in, pulled the victim by his hair and demanded his things, police said.
The victim took out a knife and stabbed Davis in the neck. Moore then pulled out a firearm and shot the victim in the face, police said.
Davis died later at the University of Chicago Hospital, police said. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide. Police said the victim was taken to the same hospital in fair condition.
Moore is set to appear in court for a detention hearing Friday, according to police.
