A 15-year-old is shot and 17-year-old Kurtis Flowers is arrested while trying to carjack an off duty police officer.
A 15-year-old boy, who has not been identified, was shot and wounded after he and another teen used Twitter to lure an off-duty Chicago State University police officer to the South Side and then tried to carjack his SUV, police said.
The teens had arranged to meet the 37-year-old officer around 5 p.m. Monday December 4th 2012 in the 2200 block of East 87th Street to sell him a new iPhone, according to a police report.
When the officer and a 17-year-old boy pulled up in a 2001 gray Toyota Sequoia, the 15-year-old pulled out a gun and shouted, "Give me everything or I’ll blow it up!" police said.
The 15-year-old then ordered the officer to give him the keys to the SUV as a 17-year-old, Kurtis Flowers, acted as lookout, the report said. Flowers was ordered held in lieu of $275,000 bail in a Cook County Bond Court hearing, according to the Cook County Sheriff's office.
The officer identified himself and fired his gun, hitting the 15-year-old as the teens fled the scene with $150 and an iPhone they stole, the report said.
The wounded teen was anonymously dropped off at Advocate Trinity Hospital. As he was being treated, authorities found a white iPhone 4 that was taken from the passenger and the $150, the police report said.
The 15-year-old was placed under arrest and transferred to Stroger Hospital. After his release, he was placed in a lineup and identified by the victims, the report said.
Flowers was identified as a suspect and arrested as he tried to hide on a front porch in the 8700 block of South Crandon Avenue, police said.
Both teens have been charged with felony armed robbery, according to Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez.
