July 20--A Lawndale man is accused of shooting a man in the right calf after his son and the man argued about a car title, prosecutors said Sunday.
Darnell Halmon, 41, of the 1500 block of South Ridgeway Avenue, faces one charge, felony aggravated battery with a firearm.
A group that included Halmon's son fought Friday with another group of people about a car title, said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Joseph DiBella, at a Bond Court hearing Sunday. The shooting took place in the 1600 block of South Ridgeway Avenue about 11:15 a.m., police said at the time.
Halmon pulled out a semi-automatic gun and shot a 19-year-old man in the right calf, according to court documents. Police found Halmon shortly after, about a block away.
He has 11 felony convictions, DiBella said.
Judge Donald D. Panarese Jr. set Halmon's bond at $500,000 on Sunday. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday.
