Deputy Chief of Detectives Rahman Muhammad said that Shaoxiong "Dennis" Zheng, 24, was standing on a Hyde Park neighborhood sidewalk on November 9, when Alton Spann of Chicago approached the Zheng and robbed him at gunpoint before shooting him in the torso and fleeing, according to ABC News.
Surveillance cameras reportedly captured Spann speeding away in a black Ford Mustang.
Police were able to track the vehicle using footage from the city's surveillance camera system, private residences, and the school's cameras, where they later determined that the car had been stolen in the suburb of Markham on November 3.
Spann was spotted on the North Side of Chicago on November 10, carrying two guns and a key FOB that belonged to the Mustang, Muhammad said.
"The firearms was tested by the CPD lab and (one of them) was confirmed to be the gun used to kill Mr. Zheng," he stated.
Police were also able to recover a video of Spann selling some of Zheng's belongings at a cellphone store.
Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said at a news conference on Friday that Spann has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon.
