Man accused of killing teenager during meeting to sell designer shoes

 Man suggestions accused of killing teenager during meeting to sell designer shoes

An 18-year-old man faces murder charges in a shooting earlier this week that left one dead and another injured when they met to buy designer shoes offered for sale online.

Tony Mason posted "designer athletic shoes" for sale on the Offer-Up platform using his personal email address and was then contacted by a 17-year-old boy to buy them, Cook County prosecutors said Thursday.

On Sunday afternoon, the boy drove to the 11900 block of South State Street with several friends, none of whom were armed, to buy shoes from Mason, prosecutors said.

Mason, who lived about half a block from the meeting, was reportedly caught on security camera walking toward the Jeep, which was off camera.

Mason showed the boy his shoes and then took $240 before pulling a handgun from his waistband and opening fire into the Jeep, prosecutors said. Mason is said to have fled with his shoes after the shooting.

Jordan Dixon, 17, was hit in the chest while sitting in the back passenger seat, and a 19-year-old man in the passenger seat was hit in the arm, according to authorities. The teenagers drove to Roseland Hospital, where Dixon was pronounced dead.

Mason was identified as the shooter by the surviving passengers, and police found four 9mm shell casings at the scene, which prosecutors say were all fired from the same gun.

Mason was arrested two days later and found in his possession was a 9mm handgun that later proved not to be the same gun used in the shooting, prosecutors said.

In the car he was driving, there was allegedly a bag with shoes in the back seat.

Mason also faces charges of attempted murder, armed robbery and unlawful use of a weapon without a FOID, according to court records.

Mason's defense attorney said he was enrolled in a course to get his GED and volunteered for a youth mentoring program.

Judge Mary Marubio ordered Mason held without bail Thursday. His next hearing was set for February 14.
