A Chicago man was sentenced to 65 years in prison for shooting a father of five during a traffic collision in Waukegan. At the time of the shooting, he posted cash bond for a weapons offense in Cook County. He also has an outstanding murder charge in Cook County for a separate incident.

On Oct. 9, 2020, Brown and the victim, Dwanye Young, were driving in separate vehicles and were involved in a minor collision.Brown fired several times into Young's car, striking him once.Eyewitnesses identified Brown as the shooter, and Brown also confessed to the crime."This devastating incident left five young people without the love and guidance of a father, a wife without a partner, and a community without a beloved friend.

This case is just another example of how easy access to weapons can turn everyday incidents like fender benders into a fight for life and death," said Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart. "We hope that this long prison sentence gives Mr. Young’s family and friends some solace. Our victim specialists will continue to support them." Brown also has an outstanding murder charge in Cook County for a separate incident.
