Father accidentally shoots son on Estes (Update 3x)

Police tape off the crime scene in the 1300 block of West Estes
(Oct. 20, 2012/Rogers Park) - In a little less than 16 hours since the last person was shot in Rogers Park, another person has been shot at 1359 West Estes, in an apartment on the 4th floor, around 5:05 p.m., October, 20, 2012. Allegedly two people were arguing and fighting over the gun when one person got shot in the head. Fire, EMS and several police cars were quickly on scene.

According to police dispatch the victim was 18 years old, and in critical to grave condition.

Update #1: The victim is a 17 years old male, not 18 as mentioned over the police scanner. The offender is a 53 year old relative who is being questioned by police. The weapon was recovered inside the apartment. No charges have been filed as of yet.

Update #2: A 53-year-old man was charged this morning in connection with the accidental shooting of his son Saturday afternoon in their Rogers Park home. More here.

Update #3: Terrance Johnson, 17, died from the gunshot wound Wednesday at 5:10 p.m. at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. More here.

Yep I see a gathered crowd outside of an Estes building, an ambulance, fire truck, about 10 cop cars... and instead of caution tape, red tape? I'm assuming that indicates homicide. Just moved in recently - welcome to the neighborhood.

Stop dissing Everyblock. EB serves a purpose. The site is great for the tinfoil hat crowd who want to gossip and whine 24/7.

Estes was never a hell hole until the tents they started letting in. I have lived here for years since 1990. It's not the neighborhood but some land lords have poor screening techniques. Al. some want is the money. this neighborhood use to be quiet.

This neighborhood is not a hell hole.I have lived here. for years since the 1980 s its not the neighborhood but some of the people that move in it. some of the land lords don't screen the tents well. People with pants hanging off and so on. its not color but character. clean up the neighborhood shuts down the crime. there were times when you could walk in this any time of day or night.

The corner store owner on Glenwood and Estes got robbed and beaten up a few months ago. Gangs hang out there all the time.

please stop complaining about the tenants and landlords. what we have here is a perfect example of wealth redistribution so beloved by you liberals. just remember this when you all vote for obama this coming election day.

By my count from your blog posts, that's 7 shot in 7 days. If Rahm believes crime is down he's never lived in Rogers Park.

You should keep your kkk attitude to your self wealth has nothing to do with it I have seen rich people act just as bad. the only thing different is they get away with their unhealthy character and acts. I lived here long enough to know better. money doesn't change how you really are it just helps give you more asscess to show your true colors. and landlords some don't care.

How can you just assume he was a gangbanger that got shot? What if TJ was a good kid?
