CHICAGO (WLS) -- A man is charged for the murder of a woman found strangled in a South Side garage Monday, Chicago police said.

Lawrence Boyle is charged with the murder of Sierra Jamison and expected to appear in court Friday.

Jamison's mother found her about 7:30 p.m. in a garage outside the home she had been renting in the 7800-block of South Indiana Avenue, which she shared with her 6-year-old son.

Her mother said her daughter had just celebrated her 30th birthday and was working as a phlebotomist.

She was ambitious, and about to start nursing school, her family said.
