The shooting happened around 7:03 p.m. Thursday in the 1400-block South Sacramento Drive in Douglass Park, Chicago police said.

The two teens were in the park when they were approached by an unknown armed male suspect who fired shots at them, police said.

According to the police report, the lifeguard got into a confrontation with some teenagers because he suspected them of attempting to steal his bicycle, which allegedly led him to fire his weapon at them.

Leto has been charged with firs-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, aggravated battery and discharged of a firearm, police said.

A 14-year-old was shot in the neck and was taken to a hospital in serious condition, CPD said.

Relatives stated that the 14-year-old involved, Jeremy Herred, is related to Laquan McDonald, who was fatally shot by Chicago police in 2014. His uncle, Pastor Marvin Hunter, leads the Grace Memorial Baptist Church. The family told ABC7 that Jeremy is a sophomore at UIC Prep and had visited the pool only two or three times before.

“We will get to the bottom of this. We will get justice for Jeremy,” attorney Jeff Nesland said.

Herred’s family said the teen is making some signs of improvement, but the gunshot would to the neck is a very critical injury.

The other victim, a 15-year-old boy, was shot in the back and was also hospitalized in serious condition. Police said he was later pronounced dead. He was later identified as Marjay Dotson by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, who ruled his death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the back.

According to the police report obtained by the I-Team, the lifeguard, who is a CCL holder, claimed to officers that the teens attacked and followed him, and tried to steal his bike, and that he was defending himself.

“There is absolutely no justification to shoot a child in the back anywhere, let alone a public pool or park,” Nesland said.

The Chicago Park District issued a statement saying, “The Chicago Park District is deeply saddened by the tragic shooting that occurred at Douglass Park. We continue to cooperate with the Chicago Police Department as they conduct their active investigation.
