CARBONDALE, Ill. -- An 18-year-old faces multiple gun-related charges in regards to a shooting investigation on June 21 in Carbondale.
The Jackson County State's Attorney Joseph Cervantez stated police responded to the 700-block of Main Street, near Springer, on June 21, at 11:30 a.m. for a report of a shooting which occurred.
Cervantez detailed a video which was obtained by authorities, which he says shows a man wearing dark clothing and getting out of a white vehicle and fired several shots at another vehicle there on Main Street.
There were no reported injuries, however, Cervantez did state a home was damaged.
Three days later, Cervantez requested an arrest warrant for Justin N. Perteet-Lovelady, 18 of Carbondale, for multiple Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm and Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon charges.
