Two Chicago residents face serious charges in connection with a violent attack on a 31-year-old man last month. Travis Andrews, 29, and Shakena Agee, 27, both from the 800 block of N. Mayfield Ave., were apprehended on Wednesday, with Andrews being caught on the 900 block of N. Mayfield Ave. and Agee on the 5700 block of W. Chicago Ave., the Chicago Police Department announced.
The police report issued, states that the defendants, Andrews and Agee, have been charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, and robbery. Andrews faces an additional misdemeanor count for resisting a peace officer or correctional employee, the authorities issued a warrant for his arrest which effectively underscored the gravity of the accusations, yet both alleged perpetrators now find themselves ensnared in the judicial process with their freedom hanging in the balance while the limbs of Lady Justice scale inward toward the fulcrum of the courtroom. A detention hearing will be held at the courthouse at 2600 S. California on Thursday.
According to the details provided by the police, the attack that led to the charges happened on August 20, 2024, on a train platform in the 400 block of S. Western in the city's 11th District, where the victim, a 31-year-old male, suffered serious injuries before being robbed. Both Andrews and Agee were identified as the assailants.
The arrest was a collaborative effort that involved the Chicago Police Department and the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, reflecting a display of interagency cooperation in bringing the suspects to justice, and though Andrews and Agee were placed into custody now ready to face the consequences of their actions as outlined by law; their future hinges on the outcomes forged within the walls of the justice system, a system that stands as an arbiter of their fate. At this time, no additional information has been released regarding the incident.
