Police said a gang fight broke out in the 1300-block of West 111th Street around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday. The teen girl was standing outside a home when she was caught in the crossfire. She was shot in the chest.

The victim was taken to Advocate Christ Hospital and remains in serious condition.

Crawford, 1200-block of West 108th Street, was arrested and charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, no FOID card and aggravated battery with a firearm. Prosecutors say Crawford was a "safe passage" worker, but a CPS spokesperson says he was a student support worker.
