A 28-year-old man from Cook County has been charged in connection with a shooting that happened Monday morning in Des Plaines.
Police responded to a report of shots fired in the 1500 block of Walnut Avenue around 11:15 a.m. When they arrived, they found that no one had been injured.Investigators later identified the suspect as Dakane L. Masters, from Skokie . According to police, Masters drove to the 1500 block of Oakwood Avenue, parked his car in an alley between Oakwood and Walnut, and then walked into a fenced yard. There, he fired four rounds at a nearby home, hitting it but causing no injuries.
Additionally, because Masters was on electronic monitoring from a previous arrest, investigators were able to use that data to confirm his presence in the yard at the time of the incident.Around 4:10 p.m., Masters returned to his home and was arrested. While he admitted being in the area, he denied any involvement in the shooting.When police searched his vehicle, they found a stolen 9mm pistol under the front passenger seat.
