Two people are facing felony charges in connection with a shooting last month in rural Byron.
Ogle County State's Attorney Michael Rock said Tuesday that Brandon McMahon, 20, has been charged with attempted first degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated discharge of a firearm, possession of a weapon by a gang member, and possession of a weapon by a felon.
Rachel Deiter, 18, Machesney Park, has been charged with concealing or aiding a fugitive.
Assistant State's Attorney Joshua Versluys said Deiter is accused of attempting to prevent McMahon's arrest after the shooting by fleeing with him from the county.
McMahon was arrested in Rockford. As of Tuesday, it was unclear as to where Deiter was arrested.
McMahon is accused of shooting Wyatt Ackerson, 19, Byron, during a confrontation at a party in the early morning hours of March 22 at a residence on North Hoisington Road, northwest of Byron.
Ackerson remains in the hospital.
Deiter is being held in the Ogle County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bond, Versluys said. She was arraigned March 28, and a public defender was appointed then to represent her.
Although Deiter was taken into custody March 24, the report of her arrest has not appeared on the Ogle County Sheriff's website that lists arrests.
Rock said last week that he knew of no arrests in the case other than McMahon.
A juvenile may also be involved in the incident, Rock said Tuesday, but he would not give further details.
McMahon, a parolee, is currently being held in the Winnebago County Jail. He has also been charged with a shooting in Winnebago County.
According to Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) records, McMahon was paroled from state prison in July of 2013.
He was sentenced to three years in the IDOC in 2010 after being convicted on several charges, including armed robbery (no firearm) and possession of a firearm by a gang member. All the offenses occurred in Winnebago County.
