A convicted murderer has been charged with firing a gun at a security guard, sparking an incident that later resulted in the fatal shooting of 55-year-old grandmother Bobbye Johnson earlier this month.
Elbert Duncan, 47, was denied bail during a hearing Tuesday following his arrest on a single count of aggravated battery stemming from the nonfatal shooting of Victor Brown outside a South Side liquor store Feb. 1.
According to Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Loukas Kalliantasis, Duncan was known to Brown and other security guards at the Wood’s Food & Liquor and a nearby restaurant in the 200 block of East 35th Street, and was not allowed there due to previous incidents. As they were arguing, Duncan could be seen putting his hands into his coat pocket, where he had concealed a handgun, Kalliantasis said. He then allegedly fired a single shot, striking Brown in the right leg from about 2 feet away.
