Authorities arrested Darnell Ingram, a 25-year-old from Chicago, accused of being involved in a violent carjacking in the city's Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood that occurred last month. According to CBS Chicago, Ingram was charged Tuesday with multiple felonies, including aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, burglary, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
Ingram allegedly forced a 45-year-old man from his car at gunpoint on January 28, after which the victim was tragically struck by a passing vehicle, sustaining severe injuries. The Chicago Police Department's Vehicular Hijacking Task Force was able to quickly apprehend Ingram on South St. Lawrence Avenue to reportedly recover a weapon, but other suspects remain at large.
A source has confirmed that Ingram was nabbed near his home in the 6600 block of South St. Lawrence. FOX 32 Chicago reports that the carjacking took place in the 500 block of East 71st Street in the Park Manor area.
The victim continues to deal with the aftermath of his injuries. Meanwhile, Ingram faces the legal repercussions of his actions, having been charged with crimes that could have forever marred another man's life. Detention hearings, expected to provide further insight into the case, were scheduled to unfold on Wednesday.
