Key Points:

A 15-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of 29-year-old Kyle T. Bickham, who was pushed off a moving Chicago train on September 7.
Bickham fell onto the electrified third rail and was struck by another train, resulting in his death; police indicate an altercation may have occurred on the train prior to the incident.
Authorities report multiple individuals were involved, with two suspects still at large, but have not disclosed a motive or whether the teen will be tried as an adult.
Bickham's family, who say he worked at an Amazon warehouse and was commuting home, gathered near the scene to call for witnesses and remaining suspects to come forward.
