A 17-year-old Chicago man was charged with aggravated battery early 
Sunday in the shooting of a juvenile after an apparent dispute in the 
parking lot behind Burger King, at 1829 Dempster St.

Anthony Peter Paul Davis, 17, of 6631 S. Claremont, Chicago, was charged 
with one felony count of aggravated battery with a firearm and one 
felony count of aggravated discharge of a firearm, in connection with 
the incident.

He is scheduled to appear on the charges July 15 in Cook County 2nd 
District Circuit Court, Skokie.

Witnesses reported hearing loud words exchanged between groups of people 
in the lot before the shooting of the juvenile, said Cmdr. Tom Guenther, 
the Evanston Police Department's public information officer.

He said police received a call at about 12:02 am., of shots fired in the 
area of the 1800 block of Dempster Street.

Officers found that the juvenile had been shot once in his upper left 
arm, Guenther said.

At about the same time, he said, police units responded by radio that 
they were pursuing suspects on foot. Officers arrested the suspect on 
the street, Guenther said, and Anthony Davis was identified a short time 
later as the offender, said Guenther, who praised police for their quick 
work in locating the suspect.

Guenther said Evanston paramedics took the 16-year-old juvenile victim 
to an area hospital. The juvenile was in stable condition, Guenther 
said, and his wound not considered life threatening.
