by Bail was set at $1 million for a 16-year-old Orland Park high student who is being charged as an adult in the shooting of an 18-year-old Oak Lawn man earlier this week. Elias Abdelqader appeared Friday before Cook County Judge Donald Havis on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and attempted first-degree murder.
Around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday, neighbors called police reporting gunfire in the 9500 block of Campbell Avenue, one block east of Central Avenue, in Oak Lawn. When officers arrived, they found the 18-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
The prosecutor said that Abdelqader and two friends went to the 18-year-old’s house, where they got into a fight outside. When the 18-year-old’s mother went outside to try to break it up, Abdelqader punched her son in the face, the prosecutor said. Both youths’ friends continued throwing punches, but missed.
The 18-year-old and his mother followed Abdelqader into the street. The prosecutor said Abdelqader went into a black Chevy where he retrieved a 9mm handgun. Walking backwards but facing the 18-year-old and his mother, the prosecutor said Abdelqader fired four shots at them. One of the bullets struck the 18-year-old in the abdomen.
The injured 18-year-old was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center where he underwent surgery and remains in stable condition.

Abdelqader and the others took off before police arrived. Oak Lawn police officers were able to get the Chevy’s license plate number from a nearby home security camera, which the prosecutor said came back registered to Abdelqader.
The 16-year-old was picked up several hours later in Chicago Ridge, the prosecutor said. The 18-year-old and his mother were able to identify Abdelqader as the alleged shooter, according to the complaint. Oak Lawn police believe the altercation may have started from a pot deal gone bad, and continue looking for other persons of interest.
The prosecutor said that except for a pending traffic misdemeanor, Abdelqader has no criminal background.
Abdelqader’s attorney told the judge that her client goes to Carl Sandburg High School, where he is a straight-A student. She asked that given his age and lack of criminal background, he’d consider electronic monitoring.
“Based on the facts and given the victim’s injuries, I’m setting bond at $1 million,” Judge Havis said.
Abdelqader is due back in court April 8 in Bridgeview.
