A Chicago man allegedly admitted to participating in the stabbing death of a 41-year-old man who was on his way home from work in the Loop last week.
Anthony Rawls Jr., 28, faces two felony counts of murder and one felony count of armed robbery.During a bail hearing Wednesday, prosecutors said Byrnes left the restaurant he managed around 10:55 p.m. and went to catch a train at the LaSalle/Van Buren stop, 121. W. Van Buren St. Surveillance footage then shows Rawls and another person approach Byrnes.
Byrnes was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead from stab wounds to his neck, chest and back. Two officers who had stopped the car in July were able to identify Rawls, who they remembered from his "unique goatee" with beads, prosecutors said. He was further identified by his girlfriend’s sister, who had been living with the couple since June.
When Rawls was taken into custody on Monday, he still had the distinctive goatee and a cast on his arm that was seen in the surveillance footage, prosecutors said. He told investigators he was fitted with the cast after being shot.
