A 19-year-old man accused of shooting a man in Englewood last month, then shooting him again when the man swore at him, was denied bail Monday.
Rashaad Collins, 19, is accused of shooting a 27-year-old man who was walking home on the 900 block of West 71st Street about 10:10 a.m. Jan. 31. Cook County Judge Peggy Chiampas ordered Collins held without bail in a hearing Monday afternoon on the aggravated battery with a firearm charge against him.
The victim reported that Collins and another man, who the victim recognized as someone nicknamed “Chicken,” fired at him, hitting him in the right leg. The victim called Collins and the second attacker a crude word implying that they were weak, and Collins responded by shooting him in his genitals.
Facebook photos of Collins holding a gun aided in his arrest on aggravated battery charges Friday. Prosecutors could not provide any more information on the second attacker.
The man who was shot was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in good condition, according to a police report.
