A 53-year-old Chicago man is now facing serious charges in connection with a shooting that took place last month outside a motel on the city’s North Side.
The man, Orlando Medina, allegedly shot a 41-year-old man during a heated argument on September 27 outside the Summit Motel on Lincoln Avenue, according to Chicago police reports.
The victim, who was hit in the stomach, was immediately taken to St. Francis Hospital and is said to be in fair condition. Authorities described the incident as a domestic-related dispute, which escalated into violence.
Local Alderman Andre Vaquez (40th) released a statement addressing the shooting, emphasizing that it was a domestic-related incident.
