You can read the charge announcement here.
The charges against Tyshon Brownlee are:

Brownlee is due in court this afternoon and we intend to follow this case in court advocacy with the 18th District.
Thank you to Area 3 Detectives and the hardworking officers of the 18th and 19th Districts who have doggedly pursued this case. This past week, our police have also engaged in extraordinary community outreach, hosting 5 CAPS meetings, participating in the Old Town Triangle Community Safety Meeting, and attending the Public Safety Meeting at Moody Bible Church last evening.
We are grateful to the neighbors, who went to the aid of a seriously injured young man and provided our police with crucial camera footage and important information.
We will continue to update you on this case. Our thoughts remain with Dakotah Early and the victims of these robberies.
