A Chicago man has been charged with shooting a 30-year-old bouncer who was escorting a person out of a West Loop business early Thursday, Chicago police said.
Guadalupe Martinez Jr., a 27-year-old Chicago resident, was arrested about 5:40 a.m. Thursday and faces three felony charges — aggravated assault, aggravated battery and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon — as well as a misdemeanor charge of failing to surrender his FOID card, according to police.
The bouncer was leaving a strip club just after 4 a.m. in the 700 block of South Clinton Street when a black Tesla pulled up and someone inside the vehicle opened fire, police said. The victim, shot in the right knee, was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition.
Martinez Jr. is set to appear in court Saturday.
