Davis, who police said is armed and dangerous, is the second person charged in the shooting.

Antwane Lashley, 18, was arrested Aug. 29 in connection to the same shooting, and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and aggravated batter, police said. He was ordered held without bail, according to county records.

At the time of the shooting, Lashley was free on bond for an earlier weapons charge, according to police. On May 20, officers allegedly saw Lashley walking and holding his jacket pocket in the 3800 block of Chicago, and saw him throw a handgun to the ground before running. He was arrested nearby and charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

Davis’ warrant was issued Aug. 27 by a Cook County judge, according to court records. His criminal history includes a 2014 conviction for unauthorized use of a weapon. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison, but was released after receiving credit for time served. Davis then served 18 months of probation, which court records show he completed unsatisfactorily.

Anyone with information was asked to call 911 or Area North detectives at 312-744-8261.
