Two teens have been arrested in connection with the shooting of a man walking home in an alley earlier this week, East Moline police said Friday.
Taylor R. Carey, 18, of Rock Island, is charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, a Class X felony under Illinois law that carries a prison sentence of six to 30 years, according to Rock Island County Circuit Court records. He also is charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, a Class 4 felony that carries a prison sentence of one to three years.
Justin L. Gomez, 17, of East Moline, is charged with unlawful possession of a handgun in connection with the shooting.
Carey allegedly shot the man who was walking home through the alley in the 700 block of 16th Avenue at about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday. The man was able to walk to the East Moline police station and report the shooting. The victim was taken to Genesis Medical Center-Illini Campus, Silvis, Ill. His name has not been released by police and his condition is unknown.
Police said the weapon allegedly used in the shooting was recovered.
Carey was being held Friday night in the Rock Island County Jail on $275,000 bond. A preliminary hearing on the charges is scheduled for Oct. 31.
Gomez also was being held Friday night in the Rock Island County Jail. He was being held on $30,000 bond for the gun charge, and on $25,000 bond for a burglary charge. Burglary is a Class 2 felony that carries a prison sentence of three to seven years. A preliminary hearing for Gomez is scheduled for Oct. 31.
In an unrelated case, Carey pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated battery and was sentenced to 24 months conditional discharge. He also must pay restitution to the victim in the amount of $2,160.82. That charge was filed in April.
