CHICAGO — Prosecutors have charged a Chicago man with shooting his girlfriend during an argument over weed. Anthony Jones, 21, was already on pretrial release for a machine gun possession case when he allegedly shot the 19-year-old woman on February 22.
Jones is the first person charged with shooting another person in Chicago this year while on felony pretrial release.
During Jones’ detention hearing, Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Ballow said Jones was visiting the woman at her apartment in the 6300 block of South Stony Island when they got into an argument.
“An argument over weed, mind you,” Ballow noted.
The woman eventually called a relative who lives across the street to come help her kick Jones out, Ballow said. The relative responded to her apartment and then returned home because it appeared that Jones was going to leave.
Minutes later, the woman called her relative again, saying Jones did not leave, and she was going to go to the relative’s home. She soon knocked on the man’s door as Jones approached and the couple began arguing, Ballow said. It was during that argument that Jones allegedly pulled out a gun.
