Bond was set at $100,000 Feb. 17  for a convicted felon charged in connection with a shooting last week in the parking lot of a Gurnee restaurant.

Joe Richardson-Wester, 27, North Chicago, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, possession without a firearm owner identification card, and aggravated discharge of a firearm — all felonies.

Police said a 33-year-old North Chicago man was shot in the leg shortly before midnight Feb. 15 in the parking lot of the In-Laws Restaurant & Sports Lounge, in the 700 block of N. Milwaukee Ave.

Responding to a report of about 15 patrons involved in an altercation at the restaurant, police stopped a dark-colored sports utility vehicle without lights and riddled with bullet holes at the intersection of Illinois Route 21 and Milwaukee Avenue, authorities said. Police said they found a discarded handgun nearby.

The driver of the vehicle, Richardson-Wester, was injured in the hand and was treated and released at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Liberytyville, police said. The victim was treated at Vista West Medical Center in Kenosha, police said. No other injuries were reported.
