Cotter said Monday Donnell Williams was serving a three- to 20-year term for assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.

Williams allegedly retrieved a gun, came back and started shooting at the car, witnesses reported. Between five to 10 shots were fired, and 4-year-old Zaniya Anderson was hit by a stray bullet while playing in her dad's front yard in the 700 block of Lavette. Read More. |
