CHICAGO - A 24-year-old Chicago woman is facing an attempted murder charge after police say she shot a man early Saturday morning on the city’s West Side before being arrested later that day in the north suburbs.

What we know:

Police say the shooting happened around 3 a.m. inside a residential building in the 4000 block of West Grenshaw Street. A 33-year-old man was shot in the leg by someone who approached him and opened fire.

Officers, including a SWAT team, responded to the scene, but the shooter had already left the area. The victim was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital and was listed in critical condition.

Later that morning, at around 11:53 a.m., Keithina Brisco Edwards was arrested in the 100 block of O’Plaine Road in Gurnee. Investigators say she was identified as the person who shot the man roughly eight hours earlier.

She’s now charged with one felony count of attempted first-degree murder.
