Jeston Harris

A Chicago man has been arrested in connection with a shooting earlier this month that left an 11-year-old boy wounded.

Jeston Harris, 27, faces one felony count of aggravated battery with discharge of a firearm and four felony counts of aggravated assault with discharge of a firearm.

The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 13 in the 1400 block of North Western Avenue. According to police, Harris allegedly fired shots at a vehicle following a minor traffic collision. One of the bullets struck the boy in the hand.

Authorities say Harris turned himself in on Sunday and was subsequently charged.

A detention hearing is set for Tuesday.
