A Niles man remains in Lake County Jail after he allegedly shot a man at a Lake Forest dog park on Sunday, authorities said.
Matthew Moy, 35, of Niles, was charged with one count of aggravated battery with a firearm (a Class X Felony) after he allegedly shot a 23-year-old man in the abdomen after a dispute on Sunday. Moy appeared before Lake County Judge Michael Nerheim on Wednesday, who agreed to the state’s request to keep Moy in custody.
Authorities stated Moy and the victim began arguing Sunday afternoon at Lake Forest’s Prairie Wolf Off-Leash Dog Area. Then the dispute carried over to the parking lot, where Moy pulled out a gun and shot the other person. The victim’s mother recorded the incident on video.
A state’s attorney spokeswoman said the dispute was allegedly over a dog.
