A Waukegan man charged with killing a 17-year-old boy during an argument in November is being held in Lake County jail on $3 million bail.
Willie C. Jackson, 18, of the 400 block of 10th Street in Waukegan, was ordered held after his appearance Thursday in front of Lake County Judge George Strickland.
Jackson is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the slaying of Dayviontay T. Jackson of Waukegan.

Waukegan police issued an arrest warrant for Willie Jackson on Nov. 14.

Willie Jackson's next court date is Jan. 10.
