A man has been charged with shooting and killing another man more than a year ago in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago.

Police said 39-year-old Osceola Little, of Elgin, was arrested Wednesday in southwest suburban Crest Hill, after he was identified as the gunman who killed a man last summer in the 4800 block of West West End Avenue.
