Arrested for murder: Two teens taken into custody in shooting death of MIAD graduate, Wil Lewis

CHICAGO/MILWAUKEE/RACINE (WITI) -- Two Chicago teens have been arrested in Racine on warrants that charge them with the murder of a Rogers Park photographer in July.

This, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The Tribune reports 15-year-old Denzel Burke and 17-year-old Michael Phillips are both charged in Cook County, Illinois warrants with the killing of 28-year-old Wil Lewis.

Lewis, a graduate of Milwaukee's Institute of Art and Design was gunned down on July 12th as he stood waiting for a bus -- a few blocks from his home.

The Tribune reports 31-year-old Eric Vaughn is being held without bail in the case -- as prosecutors say he handed a pistol to a fellow gang member when they were driving and saw a rival gang member -- who was the target of the shooting.

Burke and Phillips were arrested on Wednesday, July 30th in Racine.

Burke had a first-degree murder warrant issued against him, carrying a $750,000 bond, and Phillips had a no-bail first-degree murder warrant issued against him -- according to the Chicago Tribune.

The Tribune reports it is unclear the role these teens played in Lewis' death. However, prosecutors say Vaughn, the gunman and another person were driving just before 3:30 p.m. on July 12th when the gunman saw a rival gang member and told Vaughn he wanted to shoot the rival.

The Tribune reports Vaughn took a gun out of his car's center console, handed it to the shooter and said "wet that T-shirt up" -- meaning make the rival bleed.

The Tribune reports the gunman in this case fired at least 10 rounds.

Lewis was struck in the back, as he waited for a bus.
