A Chicago man was ordered held on a $900,000 bond Monday for a 2013 fatal shooting of a 26-year-old man in the West Englewood neighborhood.

Frank Butler was ordered held on 900,000 bond and will be back in court April 6. Prosecutors said he was sitting on a porch with a co-offender when the victim walked past. Butler and the co-offender gave chase and opened fire.

Bradford, of the 5700 block of South Hermitage, was found lying unresponsive on the sidewalk and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Butler was arrested Sunday in the 7700 block of Ashland about 6 p.m., police said.
