This is from a Chicago Sun-Times article in November of 2008. I came across it in concealed carry magazine. It was also on Civilian Gun Self-Defense Blog
R. Kellys Nephew Charged in Barber Shop Robbery Shooting
Bond was set at $200,000 for R & B singer R. Kelly's teenage nephew who allegedly tried to rob a barber shop but was shot by the owner earlier this month.
Cook County Judge Riginald Baker set bond for Brayell Kelly of Calumet at $200,000 according to Cook County States Attorney's Office spokesman Andy Conklin.
Kelly was charged as an adult thursday with attempted armed robbery, attmpted murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm.
On November 6, Calumet police responded to reports of a person shot at 524 155 Pl. Police arrived to find Kelly suffering from a gunshot wound to the back. He was taken to Christ Advocate Medical Center for treatment.
As police were responding they also received a report of an armed robbery at Marvelous Cuts Barber Shop at 804 Burnham in Calumet City.
The victim told police that a male subject came in for a hair cut and afterwards demanded this jewelry and money. The robber told the victim , reportedly the shop owner, to place the items in a plastic bag, and the victim complied police said.
As the victim handed the suspect the bag he drew his own weapon but the suspect fired at him. The victim then shot at the suspect who fled north bound on Burnham. He told police he believed he shot the suspect.
Brayel is son of R. Kelly's estranged brother Carey Kelly.
At the time of the shooting the boys father told reporters that his son may have been a robbery victim, according to Sun-Times reports.
I found it interesting how many times the word VICTIM was used in the article. I guess its normal for Cook County residents to be perceived as victims. The barber shop owner didn't perform the role of "victim" too well he defended himself.
