Chicago woman charged in Kenwood shooting

Chicago

Sheba Houskin, 46, was arrested Saturday in the 8200 block of South East End Avenue.

A Chicago woman was charged after allegedly shooting and injuring another woman during a fight in Kenwood on May 23.

She now faces felony charges of aggravated battery and aggravated unlawful restraint, with a court hearing set for July 15.

The charges stem from a May 23 incident around 9:08 p.m. in the 4700 block of South Lake Park Avenue. 

Police said Houskin got into an argument with two people that turned physical when they struck her in the face. Houskin, who has a valid Firearm Owner’s Identification card, allegedly pulled out a gun and shot a 33-year-old woman, hitting her twice under the left arm.

The victim was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital in good condition. 

Houskin has a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday. Area One detectives continue to investigate.
