Eric Billups, 16, was on his way home April, but instead was shot multiple times at a bus stop and later died at the hospital.

The shooting happened at a bus stop in the 6300-block of South Stony Island Avenue near the local YMCA.

A 16-year-old girl was also shot in the left leg; she was taken to UChicago in fair condition, CPD said.

Nearly four months after the killing of Billups, police arrested a 15-year-old. Chicago police did not name the suspect because he is a minor.

The teen suspect was charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery and intimidation. All are felony charges.
