WILL COUNTY, Ill. – A 14-year-old boy is facing murder charges after allegedly shooting a 25-year-old man who was trying to sell the teen marijuana in Crete last month.
At about 9:05 p.m. on Dec. 30, Will County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 1100 block of East 263rd Street in unincorporated Crete Township for a reported shooting.
Responding deputies were advised that a person, later identified as 25-year-old Chaves Bradley of Hammond, Indiana, was struck by gunfire after crashing his car into several parked vehicles.
Witnesses said Bradley fled in his vehicle from the area where gunshots were heard, prior to striking the parked cars, the sheriff’s office said.
After Bradley crashed, he indicated to witnesses that he needed help and then collapsed on the ground. The 911 caller believed the victim to be deceased.
While investigating the shooting, the sheriff’s office recovered digital evidence on the scene that indicated that Bradley was supposed to meet and sell a large quantity of marijuana to a 14-year-old boy in the area.
Bradley parked his vehicle in a prearranged location near the area of 263rd and Greenwood shortly before shots were fired.
Bradley was able to speed away from the scene as the teen boy allegedly began shooting in the direction of Bradley’s fleeing vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
