ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Two Rockford men were arrested on Tuesday on charges of attempted murder in connection to a shooting in June that left one man dead.
Tayveon Lake, 22, and Kewon Woods, 23 were each charged with two counts of attempted murder. The two are alleged to have shot at a man at a residence in the 1300 block of 8th Street on June 10.
According to court documents, the victim reportedly told police that he was playing basketball at Blackhawk Park prior to the shooting when a grey Chevrolet Impala belonging to Woods approached alongside a black BMW.
