Today, in the Chicago community, Dolton, justice caught up with an alleged perpetrator of a violent crime spree. Thirty-year-old William McKee faces a slew of charges linked to two harrowing incidents from late last year, according to a statement by the Chicago Police Department. McKee, of the 14600 block of Harvard Ave. in Dolton, Illinois, is now on the hook for attempted murder and multiple felonies, including home invasion with a firearm and aggravated battery.
The Chicago Police worked in tandem with the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force to bring McKee into custody without incident on January 17, 2024. He's accused of a December 20 attack that left a 29-year-old female shot, and injured. The assault occurred in the 1800 block of S. Keeler, and though details remain sparse, the gravity of the charges speaks to the severity of the offense. Furthermore, McKee's rap sheet lengthened from an earlier November 4 incident. During a home invasion in the 1100 block of N. Lawler Ave., he allegedly attacked the same woman with a firearm and menaced a 39-year-old male at gunpoint.
Authorities have moved swiftly to press charges on McKee, which include one count each of attempted first-degree murder, home invasion with a firearm, aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, and aggravated domestic battery. In addition to these charges, McKee faces the stark reality of a 'Fugitive from Justice – Out of State Warrant' hanging over him, a final nail in the prosecutorial coffin.
McKee's legal troubles will traverse the courtroom at the 2600 S. California detention hearing. As the case against McKee proceeds, the public awaits further revelations into the circumstances leading up to these distressing crimes.
