A four-time felon charged with murdering Chicago police commander Paul Bauer is due in court today. Shomari Legghette is accused of shooting the 31-year veteran officer Tuesday during a struggle in a stairwell outside the Thompson Center in downtown Chicago.
The incident happened after Bauer heard police radio traffic from tactical officers chasing the suspect through the Loop. Legghette has a long criminal history that stretches back more than two decades.
