Joliet shooting leaves man wounded on Luther Avenue

A 33-year-old man was struck multiple times in at least the third shooting reported in the Joliet area since last Friday.

The latest shooting was reported at 8:15 a.m. Monday in the 1200 block of Luther Avenue, said Joliet Police Sgt. Dwayne English. Officers found a 33-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds to his body.

The man was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life threatening, English said.

“It is believed the gunfire came from a passing vehicle while the victim stood in front of a residence,” English said.

The shooting “appears to be isolated in nature,” English said.

Last Friday, officers responded to a report of a shooting at 11 p.m. in the 100 block of North May Street.

The investigation of the shooting revealed a woman suffered a graze gunshot wound to her leg and three homes were hit by gunfire, English said.

Jamarion Poston, 22, of Lockport, was arrested on probable cause of aggravated discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon.

No formal charges were have been filed against Poston, who has since been released from jail.
