CHICAGO — Police arrested a Mississippi man and charged him with the September 2013 murder of a Humboldt Park man.

Austin was shot in the chest and left side, and crawled to a friend's doorstep in the 3600 block of West Augusta Boulevard. Austin, a father of a 6-year-old girl who lived in the 1100 block of North Ridgeway Avenue, was later pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital. Police said he was a documented gang member.
