shooting

The person who was identified as the shooter was also sentenced to probation earlier this week.

The child's mother is also facing felony charges connected to the accidental shooting in Elgin last summer.

The charges say she intentionally struck the victim and then sped away from the scene.

Court documents say the victim told police that she was the actual shooter.

Court documents say an eight-year-old girl witnessed the assault.

The man convicted of the actual shooting is now serving a 3 year prison sentence.

Rochester police found her suffering from a gunshot wound to her lower body last November.

The 69-year-old man was sent to prison for shooting a teenager in the groin during a confrontation in his backyard.

Deputies began hunting for the suspect on the night of February 27.

The murder was initially reported as a traffic crash after the victim's vehicle smashed into a vacant home.
