CHICAGO (CBS) — A Chicago man has been charged with attempted murder after three people, including a 1-year-old, were wounded by gunfire in Chatham Thursday.
Maalik Lumpkins, 19, of the 10000 block of South Emerald Avenue, is facing charges of felony attempted murder. He’s being identified as one of the offenders who was involved in the shooting, according to police.
CBS 2’s Meredith Barack reported the toddler suffered a graze wound to the head after being caught in crossfire Thursday at 75th and State. He’s home and expected to make a full recovery, but he will need surgery later this month to remove the bullet fragments from his forehead.
The two other men shot, ages 18 and 28, were inside of a separate vehicle when they were both shot in the chest and took themselves to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, police said.
Lumpkins was also shot in the incident. He was taken into custody late Thursday in the 5700 block of South Maryland Avenue.
He’s set to appear in bond court Sunday.
