       Two men have been arrested on attempted murder charges in connection with last week’s shooting of two people on Hill Avenue, Elgin police said.

       Giovanni Ramirez, 22, of the 3000 block of West 78th Street, Chicago, and Edward Williams, 18, of the 15000 block of Briar Lane, Oak Forest, were also charged with home invasion, aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and aggravated fleeing and eluding by the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

       The suspects are accused of shooting two people about 9:25 p.m. Dec. 29 in the first block of Hill Avenue. Both victims were taken to area hospitals, and one remained hospitalized Sunday, police said.

       Ramirez and Williams were apprehended after witnesses told police they saw a vehicle fleeing from the scene and officers were able to take them into custody during a traffic stop, the police report said.

       The suspects and victims were known to each other, and the Dec. 29 incident related to a previous encounter, police said. No other details, including whether the shooting was gang related, were released.

       “The quick actions of our patrol officers coupled with the tireless work by our detectives resulted in a quick arrest,” Elgin Police Chief Ana Lalley said in a statement. “I would also like to thank members of our community for coming forward with information that assisted in bringing closure to this case.”
