A judge in Chicago has ordered a suspected killer held over claims he gunned down a 71-year-old Chinese restaurant owner in broad daylight, while the victim was walking down the street.

Police say they do not yet know why Alphonso Joyner, 23, allegedly opened fire on Woom Sing Tse on Tuesday, as he walked to buy a newspaper.

Surveillance camera footage shows the moment that Joyner opened fire from his small two-door, light blue Toyota Scion at around 12:30pm, in the 200 block of West 23rd Place, in Chinatown.

The first round of shots did not strike Tse.

'You could see how startled he is,' said Brendan Deenihan, chief of detectives.

The second volley of shots hit Tse, who fell to the ground.

Joyner was then seen getting out of the car, standing over Tse, and firing additional shots.

Eighteen shell casings were found in the middle of the street and on the sidewalk, according to the police report, obtained by The Chicago Tribune.

On Thursday, Joyner appeared before Judge Maryam Ahmad, who cited the 'overwhelming' evidence that Joyner presented a 'real and present threat and danger to the community.'

She added: 'The court can say, in summary, this was an execution that the people described.'

“Lock him up. We’ll hang him tomorrow right after the trial.”

Wait, why was bail even a topic for discussion?

YES; he can be rehabilitated, WITH A ROPE IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE!
