CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago man has been charged with murder in the death of a 79-year-old woman who he attacked more than two years ago during an argument over $10.
Hezekiah Anthony was initially convicted of aggravated battery after beating Cora Nix-Corbin on July 26, 2014, and sentenced to eight years in prison. First-degree murder charges were added this week, more than five months after Nix-Corbin died.
Prosecutors say that in July 2014, the 34-year-old Anthony approached Nix-Corbin as she sat at a bus stop across the street from where she lived. During the dispute, Anthony knocked the woman to the ground and stomped on her head several times.
Two hotel security guards intervened, and Anthony was later arrested.
It wasn’t immediately known if he has an attorney.
