Kelsky Patterson, 20, who lives in the Kenwood section on Chicago’s South Side, was charged with aggravated battery and discharge of a firearm in the Aug. 31 shooting that critically injured 14-year-old Isaiah Johnson, who was struck twice in the head, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The shooting was believed to be gang-related, police told DNAinfo Chicago. Though Isaiah, who went by the nickname “Li'l Polo,” was not in a gang, his friends were, according to Chicago activist Anthony Doss.
Patterson was sitting on a bicycle at an Uptown intersection when he allegedly opened fire, according to the Sun-Times. He’s scheduled to appear in bond court Thursday.
