Captured: Gadson Faces For 3 Attempted Murders

JOLIET, IL - One week ago, Alonzo Gadson, a Joliet man with a long criminal rap sheet pulled out a gun and fired bullets into the mouth of one man, according to Joliet Police. Gadson shot a second man in the back, he shot a third man in the knee, and then he ran off and went into hiding before several squad cars arrived, according to Joliet police. According to the criminal complaint, the violence occurred in the parking lot of Eden's Bar and Grill, the bar in the 900 block of Joliet's Gardner Street near Nowell Park.

One gunshot victim was from New Lenox, two other gunshot victims lived in Crest Hill, all were in their 30s. On Friday afternoon, June 29, the Joliet Police Department put Gadson, 37, in custody. Will County Jail logs show that Gadson was processed at the county detention facility, where he has been several times over the years including last year when he was arrested in a cocaine case.

Although Gadson's ties are in Joliet, jail logs now indicated he was currently living in Naperville in the 100 block of Testa Drive apartments.

When the bench warrant was issued for his arrest last week, bail was set at $4 million. In other words, Gadson will have to come up with $400,000 cash to get out of detention while awaiting his trial. Besides the three attempted murders, Gadson faces five other felonies. If he is convicted of the eight criminal charges, he could go to prison for decades.
