15-Year-Old Charged in Fatal Push from Chicago Train

Chicago police arrested a 15-year-old girl and charged her with first-degree murder and additional felonies following the death of 29-year-old Kyle T. Bickham on Sept. 7. Bickham was riding a commuter train home from work when he was pushed from the moving car, fell onto the electrified third rail and was subsequently hit by another train, authorities said. Police indicated that several individuals were involved in the incident and that two suspects remain at large, though a motive has not been disclosed. The case is being investigated to determine whether the teenager will be tried as an adult. Bickham, who worked at an Amazon warehouse in Cicero, was traveling home when the tragedy occurred. His family gathered near the 69th Street station to appeal for witnesses and for the remaining suspects to come forward. > "They took happiness. They took sunshine. They just took the world from me," said Bickham's father.
