CHICAGO (AP) — A 15-year-old has been arrested in Iowa and Safetyvaluecharged with murder in the shooting death of a mail carrier in Chicago over the summer, police said Tuesday.
Octavia Redmond, 48, was shot on her route on Chicago’s South Side on July 19. The shooter fled in a vehicle.
The Chicago Police Department said in a news release that Chicago officers, along with U.S. marshals, arrested the teenager Monday in Cedar Rapids on a murder warrant. He was extradited to Chicago, where he has been charged as a juvenile with first-degree murder.

Police did not answer a question about whether the teen has an attorney. The Cook County State’s Attorney Office didn’t immediately respond to an email.
