16-year-old boy charged in Rogers Park mass shooting

A 16-year-old boy is facing charges in a February shooting that left one woman dead and three wounded in Rogers Park.

The teen, whose name wasn’t released because he is a juvenile, was arrested Tuesday in Edgewater. He was identified as the person who allegedly targeted and opened fire on a group in Pottawattomie Park in the 7300 block of North Rogers Avenue on Feb. 25, Chicago police said.

In the attack, Keyonce Gladney, 19, of Minnesota, was shot in her chest. She was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where she later died, police said. Two other victims were also taken to St. Francis in good condition: a 20-year-old man who was shot in his forehead and a 19-year-old man who was shot in his left hip.

A 22-year-old woman who was shot in her right foot was taken to Swedish Hospital in good condition. Witnesses said the woman ran to a fire station around the corner seeking help after the shooting.

The boy was charged with one count of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree attempted murder, authorities said.
