VOLO, Ill. (AP) — A northern Illinois man was charged Monday with two counts of aggravated battery in the fatal shooting of a teenager and the wounding of another in a dispute over a stolen vehicle.
Lake County prosecutors say Lynell Glover on Sunday allegedly ordered two teens he observed riding in his stolen auto to get on the ground or get shot. A Lake County Circuit Judge Paul Novak ordered the 35-year-old Glover of Round Lake Beach held in lieu of $1 million.
Authorities say Glover spotted his car, which was stolen days earlier, in Volo. He chased the vehicle until it ran out of gas. Prosecutors told Novak that Glover told the teens to “get on the ground or I’ll shoot you.” In the struggle that followed, Glover allegedly shot the teens.
One, Anthony Awad, 17, of Hanover Park, was shot in the leg and neck and pronounced dead at the scene. The other unidentified teen was hospitalized with a gunshot wound in the leg.
Police say Glover called 911 and remained on the scene after the shooting.
Both prosecutors and the Lake County sheriff’s office said additional charges against Glover may be forthcoming.
Authorities have not yet said how Glover happened upon his stolen car, who initially possessed the gun, or what caused the confrontation to escalate. Prosecutors declined to comment on details of the incident other than what they revealed in court.
It wasn't immediately known if Glover has legal representation to speak on his behalf.

“Dispute over a stolen vehicle”
That took some verbal gymnastics...
Here’s to hoping common sense prevails and the man is acquitted of all charges by the jury.
He's a man of his word.
Police say Glover called 911 and remained on the scene after the shooting.
I’m laughing at myself because I thought, “What the heck is VOLO? Like a new app to sell cars?” and I actually searched it....
I’d think twice before stealing that man’s car. He looks serious.
I haven’t seen anything that changes the narrative - some punks stole the man’s car, he confronted them, they threatened / assaulted him - and he defended himself and his property.
Am I wrong?
It doesn’t mean he won’t go to jail though - because America is no longer America.
Even if he is acquitted, the trial will bankrupt him.
And he has probably already lost his job.
The Process IS the Punishment.
ACQUIT!
Was once a neat car museum there.
Il VOLO...
The Soros DA will have this perp released.
CORRECTION
MAN KILLS THIEF WHO STOLE HIS CAR
That has to be the slimiest headline I have ever seen.
Man charged after fight over stolen vehicle left a teen dead.
Prosecution is just upset that they won’t have a chance to release the offenders to offend again.
The Soros DA will have you prosecuted for not reading the story.
Oh, we’ll see more of that as the left is emboldening criminals. Soon we’ll see lawsuits against homeowners for objecting to being robbed.
So these punks decided to attack an armed person, after being told to stay on the ground?
And why was there a struggle? Did the man allow the perpetrators to come within striking distance, giving the perpetrators a chance to wrest the gun away from him, and thus have the possibility for the gun to be used against him?
Here's my take, for what it's worth -- the guy was reluctant to shoot, let his guard down, they attacked, he shot.
