HOW LONG HAD KTS DRE BEEN ON HOUSE ARREST?
KTS Dre had been on house arrest since December but was jailed in June for violating his bail conditions for a 2020 gun charge.

WHAT ELSE DID THE WITNESS SAY?
She continued: "When the shooting stopped, a Cook Country [sheriff’s officer] said to me, ‘Young lady, I think you better move your car,’ and at first I laughed it off because I didn’t believe him, but he was serious and told me those were gunshots.
“I can’t stop thinking to myself that had I not stopped to talk to my friend, I could have been in that area when they were shooting,” she added.
“I was supposed to be over there.”
WHAT DID THE WITNESS SAY?
“We were talking from car to car, and I looked at her and said, ‘Those sounded really close',” she told the Sun-Times.
