CHICAGO (WLS) -- A 38-year-old Chicago man faces several charges, including murder and aggravated assault against a peace officer, after a North Side police shooting earlier this week.

Jonathan Wilson has been charged with first-degree murder, being a felon possessing a weapon, aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon and aggravated assault against a peace officer in the Monday incident.



Wilson was arrested in the 1400-block of Argyle Street in Uptown, after fatally shooting a 63-year-old man in the 4800-block of North Clark Street, police said.

He also pointed a gun at officers, and was shot, police said.



Neighborhood residents previously said the fatal shooting stemmed from a condominium board president trying to enforce a court order against Wilson, who had been told to stay away from the property

The shooting happened around 8:30 p.m. Monday near Clark and Lawrence, where witnesses said the 63-year-old victim, identified by condo building residents as "Mark," confronted the suspect following an alleged domestic dispute. The condo association said the man had been ordered by a judge the previous week to stay away from the property.

Wilson's address is in the 4800-block of North Clark.

"Our president was trying to enforce that order before the police arrived in a very calm, professional way. And, unfortunately, you can never predict how people react," condominium resident Dan DiPietro-James said.

Police said that after the shooting, officers chased Wilson to the area of Clark and Argyle, where officers shot him after he allegedly pointed a gun at them.



Nearby residents described hearing a rapid burst of gunfire during the incident.

"Just as quick as the argument or scuffle happened, right after were gunshots. And I heard multiple, very quick, probably 10 or more," said Cynthia Harvanek, who lives near the scene of the police shooting.

The condominium association said Wilson was arrested at the complex last week after allegedly trashing his girlfriend's home and throwing objects off a balcony.

A protective order was issued by a judge one day after that incident. In that case, the suspect faces misdemeanor charges of assault and criminal damage to property. Records also show a criminal history that includes armed robbery, assault and battery charges.

Police said the suspect was taken to a hospital in critical condition. Three officers were also treated at a hospital and are expected to be OK.



The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating the officers' use of force, as required by protocol.
