Paroled Felon Charged in South Side Shooting of Woman, Gunfire With Chicago Police

Prosecutors have filed attempted murder charges during ongoing oversight reviews.

Overview

  • Pierre Davis, 28, faces counts including attempted first-degree murder, aggravated domestic battery, aggravated assault of a peace officer, multiple aggravated discharge counts, and felon in possession of a weapon.
  • Police say officers responded to a domestic disturbance report on South Ingleside Avenue, later finding a 22-year-old woman shot inside an apartment; she was hospitalized in good condition.
  • During a foot chase, Davis allegedly fired at pursuing officers before two officers returned fire, striking him; he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in serious to critical condition.
  • COPA and CPD’s Investigative Response Team opened investigations, a firearm was recovered, and the involved officers were placed on at least 30 days of administrative duties after being evaluated at hospitals without serious injury.
  • Court records identify Davis as a paroled six-time felon released in September, and the Illinois Department of Corrections lodged action to reconsider his parole as prosecutors await his detention hearing, which may be delayed by his hospitalization.
