A Near North side teen has been charged as an adult in the March death of Sally Katona-King.

Katona-King was shoved down a stairwell at the Fullerton Red/Brown/Purple Line station March 28 by a robber now believed to be Watson, who was fleeing the station after swiping the iPhone of another passenger. She later died from injuries suffered by the fall. Watson was arrested in May in connection with the incident after robbing another Red Line passenger of her iPhone. Watson was caught and pleaded guilty to that robbery.

Watson was also charged today with yet another iPhone robbery at the Sedgwick Brown Line station in April.
