Deandre Warren, 18, has been charged with one count of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated battery.
Police said the 12-year-old boy was inside a home in the 4500 block of South Drexel Boulevard shortly after 10 p.m. on Aug. 5, when Warren pulled out a handgun and shot the boy in the chest, abdomen, and right arm.
