A Chicago woman plans to file a lawsuit Tuesday after charges against her and her son were dropped in a deadly shooting at a South Side restaurant.
Attorneys for Carlisha Hood said she will speak publicly for the first time at a news conference Tuesday morning, where the attorneys will plan to present a lawsuit.
Police said Hood was arguing with a man in line. That's when police said her 14-year-old son came in. As he is watching from the doorway, police and witnesses said the man arguing with his mother, who has been identified as 32-year-old Jeremy Brown, repeatedly punches Hood in the head. "No one else in the establishment did anything. And so, once he saw his mother get severely hit, he took action," said community activist Ja'Mal Green.
But Monday, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office dropped all charges saying in a statement that, "based upon the facts, evidence and the law, we were unable to meet our burden."
