Four people were arrested in a shooting in downtown Waukegan in April

Four people have been charged in an April shooting in downtown Waukegan in which more than 50 shots were fired, according to Waukegan police.

The bullets caused damage to buildings, but no one was injured, police said.

The incident occurred on April 14 around 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of Genesee and Madison streets. Police responding to reports of shots fired said they recovered more than 50 shell casings of varying calibers, including some from an assault rifle.

The four people, police said, got out of one vehicle and exchanged gunfire with people in a second vehicle. Some bullets struck the College of Lake County’s Lakeshore Campus building, but no injuries were reported.

Four days after the shooting, Waukegan detectives stopped a person of interest at an apartment complex in the 500 block of South Genesee Street. The woman, Diamond Loggins, was armed with a handgun, police said.

Officers later executed a search warrant at her home and recovered five assault rifles and three handguns, authorities said. Two of the weapons were fully automatic and could be fired like a machine gun, police said.

Loggins and three others are charged with weapons possession. The others arrested were Justin Thomas, 32, Saladine McKinney, 32, and Jayvion Scott, 25, all of Waukegan.
