Andrew Jones, of the 8100 block of South Merrill Avenue, was charged with aggravated assault and armed robbery in connection with several robberies connected to an advertisement on Craigslist.
Police had issued an alert earlier this week warning of people who were robbed when responding to an ad on the site. The victims met a man at a certain location, where they were met by an armed robber who forced them to the rear of the location and robbed them.
Police said the robber, identified as Jones, took the victims' car keys and vehicles. In one incident, he shot the victim.
Prosecutors said he shot a 23-year-old Wheeling man in the colon and groin.

This is so crazy, I went to school with this dude. Its really sad this was his lifestyle, I would've never guessed he'd turn out like this. So sorry for the victims
Stupid idiot.....
That guy he shot must have thought he was a woman or a fag. People need to get the check off the internet looking for dates. Go out in the world and mingle. Not that its any safer but at least you have a better chance of protecting yourself from unexpected prowlers.
