NBC Chicago reports that the neighbour "created a scene" after coming home to discover that his house had been burgled, only to be laughed at by the teenager.

The neighbour then shot Jones 9 times, killing him on the spot.

He fled the scene with his girlfriend after killing the teenager, but returned later and was arrested around 7:00pm the same day.

Father of the deceased, Kaunda Jones, told journalists that his son was killed for laughing.
