Armani J. Morris, of the 3000 block of Blue Ridge Drive in Carpentersville, was arrested and charged by the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office with felony counts of possession of a firearm/no FOID and reckless discharge of a firearm.
Police provided no information on the age or condition of the victim or how many times he was shot, what type of weapon was involved, what might have provoked the shooting, if the suspect accidentally fired his weapon, whether the suspect and victim knew each other, if anyone else was present at the time of the shooting or if the incident was gang-related.
