A man has been charged in a Greektown shooting that injured a man, woman and himself early Saturday morning.
Deshaun Carter, 26, of Bronzeville is facing charges after a fight broke out in a Taco Burrito King restaurant around 4:20 a.m. Saturday. The Chicago Tribune says police were called to the scene when a brawl broke out on the Near West Side.
"We saw them fighting for a little bit, and then eventually they went crazy. All I heard was gunshots," witness Kevin Gandhi, 22, told the Tribune.
Police say that a 31-year-old man was critically injured with a gunshot wound to the chest, and he was listed in serious condition at Stroger Hospital. A 26-year-old woman was grazed in the right foot, but refused treatment at the scene. Carter was shot in the left leg and also transported to Stroger.
Witnesses identified Carter as the man who fired shots, and he was found with a handgun at the scene, police told the Tribune. He's charged with aggravated battery, discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon.
Carter is due in bond court Monday, the Sun-Times reports.
