CHICAGO — An 18-year-old man already charged with several robberies has now been charged with attempted murder and battery, among other things, police said.
Mishaun Drane, of the 5300 block of South Honore Street, is being held in the Cook County Jail for his connection to three armed robberies, according to a Chicago Police news release. He was identified as the person behind two more armed robberies — including one where an elderly man was shot — and is now facing more charges, police said.
At 6:20 a.m. Aug. 24, Drane robbed but did not injure a 46-year-old man in the 5600 block of South Springfield Avenue, police said. Just five minutes later, at 6:25 a.m., Drane robbed a 73-year-old man in the 6100 block of South Kenneth, police said.
Drane shot the 73-year-old during the robbery, sending the man to Advocate Christ Medical Center in critical condition, police said.
Drane has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery, aggravated battery and attempted armed robbery, police said.
Drane was scheduled to appear in Bond Court on Wednesday.
