The father heard a gunshot and told his daughter to take her scooter back to the apartment.
“As V approached the front door of her apartment building, D (shooter) emerged from his apartment building across the street holding a firearm,” the document states.
The father and other witnesses saw the neighbor – identified as Michael Goodman – across the street as he approached the child, and the father shouted at the neighbor “what he was doing,” according to the document.
“While V’s father ran to his daughter, he observed D raise the firearm, point it at the V, and shoot the V in the head. V’s father tackled D into the vestibule and as they both fell to the ground the gun discharged, striking D in the eye,” the document said.

Man charged in 9-year-old girl's Portage Park shooting death denied bond
Cook County prosecutors said Serabi was riding her scooter on the sidewalk outside her family's apartment building Saturday night, while her father was talking to three friends sitting in a car, when one of the friends gave her money to get ice cream from a nearby ice cream truck.

Family members told CBS 2's Chris Tye there was no prior history with the suspect and that the father and daughter just moved to the neighborhood a year ago.
"We're dealing with another baby that hasn't had a chance to go back to school. I talked to her father. He said she just loved to go to school," Holmes said.
Ald. Ruth Cruz (30th) said this isn't the first time the father has lost a loved one due to gun violence.
"About four years ago, he lost his wife, just like he lost his daughter today. Also, his wife was killed outside where the apartment they lived, and now he is mourning the loss of his daughter," she said.
No bail for neighbor charged with killing 9-year-old girl in front of her father
