A man charged with fatally shooting one man and wounding another last week in West Englewood was ordered held without bond.

Camron Howard, 18, was charged with one count each of first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to a statement from Chicago Police.

Two men, ages 28 and 38, were outside about 10:30 p.m. Thursday in the 6400 block of South Damen when someone walked up to them with a gun and started shooting, police said at the time.

The younger man, identified as 28-year-old Eric Burgin, was shot in the head and pronounced dead at 10:56 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He lived on the same block where the shooting happened.

The older man was shot in the left leg and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

Howard, of the 8100 block of South Loomis, was ordered held without bond Saturday.
