A suspect is facing gun charges after a shooting that took place in front of police officers.

On Tuesday, November 16th, 2021 at 7:53p.m., North Precinct officers patrolling near North Lombard Street and North Mobile Avenue saw a man approach a parked vehicle. Someone in the vehicle jumped out and ran away, and the man pulled out a gun and fired a shot at the person running. The suspect then drove away in the vehicle.

The officers requested cover and began following the suspect in the vehicle. The suspect crashed near North Farragut Street and North Curtis Avenue, then ran off on foot. Officers investigated and determined the suspect was in a nearby residence. Officers convinced him to come out and surrender, and he was arrested. A gun, a .380 Ruger semiautomatic pistol, was recovered as evidence (photo).
