Zion man faces weapons charges for shooting at ex-girlfriend

A Zion man has been charged with shooting at an ex-girlfriend Sunday afternoon.

Drashaun L. Bowers, 31, faces a number of weapons charges for allegedly firing a single gunshot towards an ex-girlfriend, Zion police said in a statement.

The woman told officers Bowers almost ran into her vehicle with his vehicle about 2:10 p.m. in the 1800 block of Joanna Avenue, so she pulled over to avoid a collusion, police said.

Both she and Bowers then exited their vehicles and started arguing and physically fighting, according to police.

Bowers allegedly returned to his vehicle, retrieved a handgun and fired one shot toward his ex-girlfriend, before fleeing the scene, police said.

No injuries were reported, according to police.
