Felony charges filed against man shot by CPD during pursuit

CHICAGO — Felony charges have been filed against a man who was shot by Chicago police during a foot chase on the city’s West Side over the weekend.

Officers said 21-year-old Kewion Kingcade has been charged with one felony count of aggravated assault of a peace officer, fire official or ER worker, and one felony count of aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon.

According to police, the incident began after officers were called to a report of a person armed with a gun in the 1900 block of Austin Avenue, in Austin, around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Once police arrived on the scene, they said Kingcade allegedly fled. Officers pressured him, but said at one point, he allegedly turned in the direction of officers while armed with a firearm.

After turning toward the police, CPD officers opened fire, striking Kingcade.

Kingcade was later taken to the hospital, where he was subsequently taken into custody and charged.

At the time of his arrest, Kingcade had four warrants out for his arrest. He is set to appear in court on Tuesday for a detention hearing.

Authorities did not provide a booking photo for the suspect arrested.
