Judge Sets $1M Bail for Palatine Man Accused in Rolling Meadows Gang Shooting

A judge has ordered that a Palatine man be held on $1 million bail after an alleged gang-related shooting in Rolling Meadows.

Christian Ruiz, 20, of the 1900 block of Cambridge Court in Palatine, appeared in court on Sunday, according to a Chicago Tribune report. Police say he's responsible for an earlier shooting in the 2300 block of Algonquin Road in Rolling Meadows where a man was shot in the thigh.

"Prosecutors alleged Ruiz was driving around with friends looking for members of the Latin Kings street gang to beat up," the Tribune story said.

Witnesses say Ruiz flashed a gang sign and fired a gun in the incident. He would need to post 10 percent of the bail amount, or $100,000, in order to be released.
