Rickisha King-Tiggs – 25 Year Old Woman K*lled By Her Neighbor Because Her Mother Refused His Love Offers

Weeks after a dust-up with his neighbor, a 45-year-old man allegedly opened fire on a woman near their Chatham apartment building — but he ended up killing her daughter instead, prosecutors say. Bail was denied Saturday for Eugene Arnold III, who is now charged with the murder of Rickisha King-Tiggs and the attempted murder of her mother, authorities said. Prosecutors said during a bail hearing that the feud between Arnold and King-Tiggs’ mother started at least a few weeks before it ended in gunfire Wednesday evening.

As she was on the phone with police giving a description of Arnold, she allegedly saw him fire a handgun from inside his van and through the passenger window. King-Tiggs, 25, was shot in the head and leg, police said. She later died at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Her mother was not struck, Mack said. After the shooting, a witness said they saw Arnold drive south against traffic on Maryland Avenue before turning right on 83rd Street, Mack said. Arnold was arrested hours later in River North, according to police. Source: chicago.suntimes
