An 18-year-old has been charged in connection with a shooting that left a 20-year-old woman injured in Chicago earlier this week. The Chicago Police Department announced that Daniel May, from the 7700 block of S. Honore St., has been charged with one felony count of aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm. According to the Chicago Police Department, the arrest took place on Tuesday at approximately 6:52 p.m. May was apprehended in the 6700 block of S. Crandon Ave.
Chicago police officers claim to have swiftly identified and taken May into custody shortly after the incident occurred. He is alleged to have shot the female victim just minutes earlier in the same block where he was arrested. Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting have not been disclosed, but the victim is currently recovering from her injuries. May is expected to appear for a detention hearing at a court located at 2600 S. California today, as per the Chicago Police Department's release.
No further information has been made available about the victim's condition or the motive behind the shooting. Police have closely guarded details as the investigation continues. The charge of aggravated battery with a firearm is a serious offense, and May faces significant legal challenges ahead.
