A black man already in jail in connection with the sexual assault and trafficking of a teenage girl has now been charged with murder

According to an arrest affidavit, 20-year-old Kwaku Agyin is charged with the shooting death of 35-year-old Marcus Anderson. Anderson was shot and killed at the Skyline Motel on the Northeast Side. The affidavit stated that Agyin forced a woman to call Anderson to her hotel room where the shooting took place. The woman told police that she was a prostitute for Agyin, but had recently ended her relationship with him because he had assaulted her, the affidavit stated. The woman said that Anderson was helping her find an apartment and holding money for her, the affidavit stated. Agyin confronted the woman about the money and when she did not give him any, the affidavit stated that he took her at gunpoint and forced her to call Anderson and lure him to her motel room. According to the affidavit, Agyin hid in the closet while the woman and another man with a gun waited for Anderson to arrive. Anderson arrived and the other man in the room attempted to rob Anderson, but the two got into a fight. The affidavit stated Agyin then came out of the closet and shot Anderson multiple times. Anderson stumbled out of the room and Agyin fled with the other man. The woman contacted a friend who contacted police. Police found the woman involved and interviewed her. Police learned of her relationship with Agyin and also determined that she was a minor. Agyin was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a minor, harboring a runaway child, trafficking and compelling prostitution. Through a series of interviews with witnesses, detectives determined that Agyin was also connected to Anderson's slaying and issued another warrant for his arrest.
