Sullivan, 29, was the unhoused man killed near the intersection of West Howe and South Morton streets on Friday, September 26.
“I’m really proud of the police’s work in the case,” Thomson said.
Police arrested Dixon on one count of murder and unlawful carrying of a handgun at 1 p.m. on Monday, according to arrest records. He was charged with two more crimes about four-and-a-half hours later: criminal recklessness and another count of unlawful carrying of a handgun.
Police found Sullivan the night he was killed. According to initial reports from that weekend, the driver of a dark-colored Sedan got out of their car and shot him, after a “disturbance.”
