A Rochelle man remains in jail following a shooting that took place Friday night in the Hub City which left a 17-year old boy with an injured leg.
23-year old Michael Maise Jr. was arrested Saturday afternoon on the felony offense of aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated discharge of a firearm, and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.
The incident began at a party in the apartment building at 322 South Main Street in Rochelle. An argument took place with individuals who are involved in gangs.
3 to 4 shots were heard outside the apartment building. The teen was shot outside.
He was treated for the leg injury at a Rockford hospital and then released.
