Chicago – Twice in the past few weeks have asked public prosecutors to hold judges to hold drivers who are accused of firing weapons during traffic changes in Chicago. Both times the judges rejected the requests and sent the accused drivers home to single monitors.
In one case, the police responded to calls from Schoten fired and met a 36-year-old man who said another driver was opening fire on his car in the 9400 block of South Ashland.
Public prosecutors said in a detention spotlight that the victim for Kevin Reynoso, 23, cut due to an upcoming lane closing around 9:50 am on January 24. The man returned to his job, but Reynoso pulled next to him and shot five shots on his car, the petition said. Researchers would have found five bullet tracks on the Ford Fusion of the victim.
Prosecutors said the man recorded part of the incident on his phone and that the images include the registration number of the shooter. Cops searched the record of the record, heard that it belonged to Reynoso, and they went to his house in Harvey, the petition said.
Allegedly, officers Reynoso saw the car from the shooter at that location and stopped him for an interview. Prosecutors said the police found a gun in Reynoso’s car.
They accused him of heavy discharge from a firearm to an occupied vehicle and asked Judge Ankur Srivastava to keep Reynoso in prison. Instead, the judge sent him home on the electronic monitoring program of the Sheriff.
Then, a week later, around 11:35 am on January 31, two drivers crashed into the 1500 block of South Racine.
The drivers stepped out of their cars, and one of them, identified as the 50-year-old Maurice Jones, hit the other in the face and kicked him in the back, according to a CPD report.
Jones took off a gun and shot it in the ground next to where the other driver and his passenger were, prosecutors claimed.
Chicago police officers who spoke with Jones said in a report that he admitted that he had fired the gun and “related to that there were two and that they did not speak English and had no insurance.”
Jones has a permit for possession of firearms, but has no hidden carrier permit, according to the detention of the state.
Judge Antara Rivera eventually rejected that petition. She sent Jones home on a GPS -Ondelmel monitor.
