The Fourth of July ended in fireworks for many Americans, but for one group of Chicago partygoers, the night ended with something else: a firefight.
Two side-by-side parties provided the scene of the Friday confrontation, the Chicago Tribune reported.
A group of four people, including one military member, was leaving one party when one of the women in the group noticed a cup of liquor on her car.
She asked people at the party next door who the liquor belonged to, then removed the cup from her car, prompting 22-year-old Denzel A. Mickiel to approach the foursome and begin shouting at and threatening them, officials said.
Mickiel went into the house hosting the second party and retrieved a gun, which he then began firing at the group, Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Hain said at a hearing Sunday. Two other unidentified individuals also shot at the group, the Tribune reported.
