A Calumet Park man was charged with robbing two people at gunpoint last month in the South Side Park Manor neighborhood.

Kenneth Armoni Sims, 19, was charged with a single felony count of armed robbery, according to Chicago Police.

After arranging a meeting to sell a cellphone on a social media marketplace, Sims met a 56-year-old man about noon Jan. 22 in the 7200 block of South Langley and robbed him at gunpoint, police said.
