CHICAGO --
A man has been charged with fatally shooting two people last year in a Back of the Yards neighborhood gas station parking lot on the South Side.

Lorenzo Parish, 19, faces two felony counts of first-degree murder for the Oct. 28 shooting, according to Chicago Police.

Chiquita Ford and Brian Fields, both 30 years old, were sitting in a parked vehicle about 10:20 p.m. at the station in the 1900 block of West Garfield when a gunman walked up and fired shots, striking her in the side and him in the chest, police and the Cook County medical examiner's office said.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene at 11:02 p.m., authorities said. Ford lived in the 1000 block of Hull Avenue in Westchester; Field was from the 7200 block of South Wolcott.

Parish was identified as the shooter and arrested about 2 p.m. Tuesday in Fort Worth, Texas, police said. He had been apprehended by local law enforcement and held on a warrant in connection to the double homicide.

Parish, who lives in the 11500 block of South La Salle Street, was scheduled to appear in bond court Thursday.

Fields was also a victim of Chicago's gun violence on March 31 in the West Englewood neighborhood.

At that time, Fields was using Facebook Live, which sends out a live video stream, while standing on the corner of 56th Street and Hoyne. He was chatting amiably about his visit to the city before gunshots sounded and the phone apparently tumbled from his hand, landing with the lens pointed to the sky - until the shooter steps over the phone and fires another dozen shots before stepping out of the frame.

Chiquita Ford was days away from moving out of state with her two young children when she was gunned down inside a vehicle at a gas station in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.


A large crowd stood feet away from where Ford was fatally shot while she was seated inside a white two-door vehicle that was stopped at a gas station in the 1900 block of West Garfield Boulevard. Some women cried and embraced each other while others sipped from cups.

Ford, 30, of the 1000 block of Hull Avenue in Westchester, was inside the vehicle with Brian Fields, 30, of the 7200 block of South Wolcott Avenue, when a man walked up to them and began firing shots, Chicago police said. Ford was shot on the side of her body and Fields was shot in the chest. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Domonique Walton was among those who showed up at the gas station after hearing about the fatal shooting. She grew up with Ford, whom she considered to be her best friend for the past 20-plus years.

“She was a very caring person,” she said. “The realest chick you ever met.”

Ford planned to move to Pennsylvania with her 9-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son in the next couple of days to escape the city’s violence, Walton said.

“For a better life,” she said. “She wanted to get her kids out of it.”
