Overview

• Officers charged the teen with four counts of aggravated battery with discharge of a firearm and one count of armed robbery with a firearm.
• The July 27 shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. in the 700 block of South Springfield Avenue, where four minors were struck, including a 14-year-old in critical condition.
• Authorities took the suspect into custody on Wednesday on the Near West Side; CWB Chicago reports the arrest happened at the county juvenile detention center, where he had another pending case.
• Because he is a juvenile, officials have not released his name or a booking photo, and the matter will proceed in juvenile court with limited public details.
• Initial police reports indicate the gunfire followed an argument, and the robbery charge stems from a July 14 holdup of a 16-year-old in the 3000 block of West Jackson.
