3 Charged In Brawl, Shooting At Greektown Restaurant

CHICAGO, IL -- Two of the three men charged in connection with a shooting and brawl in Greektown on Saturday were convicted of second-degree murder in 2013, court officials said Monday. Surveillance video revealed that Tariq Anderson, 26, repeatedly beat a man with a gun early Saturday morning at Taco Burrito King on West Jackson Boulevard, court authorities said.

Anderson and Deshaun Carter, both 26, were convicted of second-degree murder after they beat a 17-year-old Shaun Bowens to death in 2008, according to prosecutors.

Friends of Bowens recognized Anderson and Carter at the restaurant in Greektown Saturday morning, and a fight broke out, prosecutors said.

Carter is accused of shooting a 31-year-old man and 26-year-old woman during the brawl. The 31-year-old was rushed to Stroger Hospital in critical condition after being shot in the chest. Carter faces charges of aggravated battery by discharging a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

Anderson is accused of pistol-whipping a 29-year-old man with a gun, and was denied bail Monday.
