A 10th-grader on probation in a gun case is accused of opening fire from a stolen SUV and shooting three teens on a South Side corner earlier this month, killing a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl.



Anthony Murphy, 16, was charged as an adult with murder and attempted murder after he was identified by the surviving teen and "made admissions regarding his involvement in the shooting," Cook County prosecutors said Wednesday.



Murphy, his wrists and ankles cuffed, appeared briefly in bond court, where Judge James Brown ordered him held without bail. "There's no question in my mind this defendant is a danger to the community and himself," the judge said.



Prosecutors said Murphy was riding in the back seat of a green Ford Explorer around 3:35 p.m. Jan. 5 when he began shouting gang slogans at the three teens walking home from school in the 7500 block of South Dorchester Avenue. Murphy then shot at the teens as they ran down the street, prosecutors said.



Donta Parker, 16, was shot in the head, and Sakinah Reed, 17, was shot in the back and leg, authorities said. Both were pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn an hour after the shooting, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.



The third teen, another 16-year-old boy, was shot in the finger and ankle and was taken in good condition to St. Bernard Hospital and Healthcare Center.



A video taken at a nearby gas station a few minutes before the shooting showed Murphy in the back seat of the Explorer, prosecutors said. The video showed the Explorer turning onto Dorchester toward the three teens, prosecutors said.



The next day, the Explorer was recovered by police, and a .380-caliber shell casing was recovered inside the SUV, prosecutors said. The casing matched six shells found at the scene of the shooting, prosecutors said.



Murphy was picked up after he was identified by the surviving teen as well as a witness at the gas station, prosecutors said.



The attorney for Murphy said the boy is in the 10th grade at Hirsch Metropolitan High School and lives with his mother.



Murphy is on probation for a unlawful use of a weapon case from last year, according to Assistant State's Attorney Brian Whang. In 2013, he was convicted of aggravated battery and possession of a stolen motor vehicle and got two years of probation.



Parker, Reed and the third teen were among at least 10 people shot across Chicago during a nearly 14-hour stretch starting about 6:45 a.m. Jan. 5. So far this year, more than 130 people have been shot in Chicago.
