CHICAGO — A Chicago man accused of fatally shooting a woman on the city's South Side last month is now facing a felony charge.

Chicago police say 22-year-old Xavier Tousant, who lives in the area where the incident allegedly unfolded, has been charged with one count of first-degree murder.

Officers say the charge stems from Tousant's alleged role in a deadly shooting that left a 20-year-old woman dead on June 27, 2025.
