Aug. 05--Authorities charged a Gurnee man who is accused of shooting and wounding a 21-year-old man in the Albany Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side about a week and a half ago.
Phakthra Savath, 19, was charged with one felony count of aggravated battery with a discharge of a firearm, according to a statement from the Chicago Police Department.
The 21-year-old man was standing outside in the 4400 block of North Kedzie Avenue when four or five men walked up to him yelling gang slogans around 1:10 a.m. July 20, police said at the time.
Savath was identified as the person who fired gunshots at the man, who was struck in the right thigh and left ankle, according to the statement.
The 21-year-old was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where his condition stabilized, police said at the time.
Savath, of the 100 block of Wellington Circle in north suburban Gurnee, is scheduled to appear in Cook County bond court Wednesday.
