Not to well, if you go by the count of victims. And CWBChicago is keeping track of the count. #60: Man shot a teenager during a drug deal — while on electronic monitoring for gun and drug cases, prosecutors say
Nine months ago, prosecutors charged Malik Perteet with felony gun possession after he allegedly fired shots at a BP station where other people were present. Chicago police wanted to charge Perteet, who was himself shot multiple times during the incident, with reckless discharge of a firearm, too, records show. But prosecutors refused to do that.
Instead, he went home on electronic monitoring after posting a $7,500 deposit.
The he got arrested for manufacture of narcotics, and turned loose again.
Perteet, 22, was back in bond court on Friday. Prosecutors say he shot and tried to kill a 17-year-old girl during a marijuana sale earlier this month. And, yes, he was on electronic monitoring and on bail for the gun case and the other drug case at the time.
He is the 60th person accused of killing, trying to kill, or shooting someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for a felony. A total of 92 victims are involved in those crimes.
It is only through chance, and the fact that he is apparently a bad shot, that he didn't kill someone. Not for lack of trying, nor for any intervention on the part of the Criminal Justice System.
