A Chicago 19-year-old fatally shot his 72-year-old grandfather, and robbed him so he could buy tattoos, shoes and a cellphone, police said.

William Strickland had no criminal record but is an admitted gang member. His grandfather's gun was used in the crime, police said.

Strickland allegedly shot the elder William Strickland six times in the back after the man left his home to catch a van service to his dialysis appointment.

The elderly man died just steps from the South Side home he shared with his greedy grandson.
