CHICAGO— A man who participated in a shooting on Lake Shore Drive that left a toddler in critical condition has been arrested, Chicago police said. Jushawn Brown is charged with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon after police say he fired a gun from the car where 1-year-old Kayden Swann was a passenger. Brown, the boyfriend of Kayden's grandmother, is due in bond court on Thursday, and police say he fired at another vehicle. Police have not arrested the person who fired the shot that struck Kayden in the right temple. A police spokesperson said during a briefing on Tuesday afternoon that the shooting was a result of a "road-rage incident" and that a weapon was recovered from the car the young boy was in. The other vehicle involved sped off after the crash. The boy has been placed in a medically-induced coma and is on a ventilator, Marcelo Malakooti, a medical director at Lurie Children's Hospital told reporters Wednesday afternoon. His mother and grandmother remain by his side, according to the hospital.
