Black man kills another man over dripping air conditioner

African-American Charles Sims, 28, shot Jimmy Parker eight times, police said. Sims has appeared in court on a charge of first-degree murder. He is being held without bond. Sims’ sister had complained to him that Parker dropped water on her from the window of an apartment building, police said. But the water was simply condensation falling from an air conditioner in a third-floor apartment where the 29-year-old Parker was visiting a woman, Chicago Police Detective Anthony Noradin said. The warm water fell on Sims’ sister when she returned home to the building shortly before midnight, police said. She called police to report the incident. She also told her brother, who returned to the building and confronted Parker outside, police said. When Parker denied it, Sims punched him, police said. Then Parker hit Sims, who pulled a 9mm handgun and shot Parker. Sims stood over Parker to finish him off, Noradin said. Six witnesses have identified Sims as the shooter, Noradin said.
