CHICAGO (AP) – The latest on the arrest of a suspect in the killing of a 9-year-old Chicago boy who police say was lured into an alley and shot in the head as part of an ongoing gang fight (all times local):

4 p.m.

Investigators say a Chicago man suspected in the fatal shooting of a 9-year-old boy went looking for targets after his brother was killed during a months-long gang feud.

Prosecutors alleged Friday that 27-year-old Corey Morgan was among three gang members who lured Tyshawn Lee from a playground near his grandmother’s home on Nov. 2, then shot the boy in the head in an alley.

Morgan’s attorney says his client “absolutely denies” being involved.
