A second person has been charged with a shooting last week in the Park Manor neighborhood on the South Side.

A 29-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk at 10:40 a.m. in the 7100 block of South State when three people walked up and fired at him, according to Chicago police. He was shot in the left arm and taken to University of Chicago Medical Center.

Kevon Reed, 18, and a 17-year-old boy were both taken into custody after the shooting, police said. They were each charged with felony aggravated battery with a firearm.
