A man has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting another man to death last month in the South Shore neighborhood.

Bailey was found on a sidewalk outside an apartment building and pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

He faces one count of first-degree murder and was scheduled to appear in bond court Thursday.
