Man charged in triple shooting that killed 2-year-old on West Side

A 26-year-old man was charged Saturday morning in a fatal Valentines Day shooting that killed a 2-year-old boy and his uncle, and wounded a pregnant woman in the Lawndale neighborhood.

Devon Swan was charged with first-degree murder for his role in the triple shooting that happened in the 2300 block of South Kenneth Avenue, police said.

Lavontay White Jr. was killed along with his 26-year-old uncle Lazaric Collins. A pregnant woman, who was Collins' girlfriend, was shot in the abdomen area. The woman and her unborn child survived the attack, police said.

The shooting stemmed from a dispute between Collins and a group of individuals, and additional arrests are expected, according to Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police spokesman.
