Prosecutors are laying out their case against a man accused of shooting 15 people at a comedy show in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood over the weekend.

According to a proffer released by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, the suspect, identified as 48-year-old William Groves, is being charged with 15 counts of attempted murder in connection with the shooting, which occurred Sunday morning.

The proffer reports that Groves has at least six felony convictions on his record, including a 2008 conviction for aggravated battery with a firearm. During the event, the suspect allegedly became intoxicated and ran into multiple people, leading security to order him to leave. He attempted to return a short time later, and after being denied entry allegedly got into a physical altercation with another individual outside. He then left again, according to eyewitnesses.
