At 12:16 a.m. Thursday, officers saw Harris chasing after a 30-year-old man in the 7900 block of South Vincennes, police said.

Officers eventually caught up with Harris and took him into custody, police said. They also recovered a handgun that Harris dropped during the pursuit.

The other man was found shot in the shoulder and abdomen and rushed to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was listed in serious condition, police said.

Harris was not charged with the shooting, police said.

On Saturday, Harris was ordered held without bail at Cook County Jail, according to police and the Cook County sheriff’s office. His next court date was set for Thursday.
