Man held without bail in fatal shooting near Millennium Park

CHICAGO (AP) - A gang member accused in the slaying of a man near Chicago's Millennium Park on Saturday has been ordered held without bond.

Cook County Circuit Judge James Brown said Paul Pagan "presents a great danger to the community" before ordering him held Tuesday for the murder of Peter Fabbri.

Prosecutors say the 54-year-old Fabbri and his sister, mother and his girlfriend were arguing over Scripture with another group of people when the 32-year-old Pagan injected himself into the argument.

Pagan is accused of shooting Fabbri in the head after they got into a scuffle. Fabbri of Berwyn died the next day at an area hospital.

Chicago police arrested Pagan, who has an extensive criminal record, shortly after the shooting.

In arguing for bail, a public defender said Pagan cares for two children diagnosed with autism.
