The Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office investigated an alleged road rage Wednesday that ended with the arrest of 19-year-old Krishaun C. Mays, of Kankakee.
Deputies responded about 12:33 p.m. to the area of 15000 East Road and 5000 South Road in Pembroke Township to a shots fired call stemming from a road rage incident, according to a police report.
The victim, who had called 911, told deputies he was traveling west on 5000 South Road and about 14000 East Road when a sedan traveling east swerved into his lane, according to the report.
The victim said he went off the roadway. He then turned around and traveled east. He said he drove past the suspect vehicle that was parked in the roadway, and Mays was standing by a mailbox, according to the report.
When he drove past Mays, the victim said Mays raised his shirt, displayed a handgun with an extended magazine
in the waistband of his sweatpants, according to the report.
The victim said Mays asked him “you want some of this?,” police said. The victim said Mays jumped in the vehicle and started to follow him, according to the report.
Mays said the driver of the vehicle tried passing him in the area of 15000 East and 4500 South roads, according to the report.
The victim wouldn’t let them pass, and turned off 5000 South Road. That is when Mays leaned out the driver’s side window and fired multiple shots at the victim’s vehicle, according to the report.
The victim said he continued driving north and the offending vehicle turned west on 4000 South Road, according to the report.
Deputies were able to locate a vehicle matching the description of the offending vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, according to the report.
Mays was taken into custody. A passenger in the vehicle was not taken into custody, according to the report.
Deputies located two apparent bullet holes in the victim’s vehicle, according to the report.
Mays was charged by the sheriff’s office with aggravated discharge of a firearm and awaits a detention hearing Friday afternoon in Kankakee County court.
