Officers say Taylor’s charges stem from his alleged role in a shooting that unfolded in the 5800 block of South Sangamon Street, in Englewood, just before 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 2.

Authorities said they were initially called to the scene following a report of a person shot, but when they arrived, they found an injured 20-year-old woman inside a nearby apartment complex.
