Police Arrest Man For Murder Of Maywood Teen

Police have made an arrest in the murder of Tawanna Ford, a promising, west suburban teenager who was gunned down by a complete stranger in Maywood two weeks ago.

CBS 2's Pamela Jones spoke with the victim's family.

"I had just spoke to her at five after 7," said Ladana Ford, the victim's mother. "I can't even, it's a brick on my heart because my child is not here."

The pain of losing her daughter is still fresh. Seventeen-year-old Tawanna Ford was shot in the head on June 2.

Police have identified a suspect in the case: 20-year-old Kenydale Robinson of Chicago. He faces murder and firearms charges.
