The man told police he and Boshar began aggressively yelling at him and brandished a handgun, according to the court records.<\/p>\n The man told police that he and Boshar used to play on the same soccer team when they were younger, but denied knowing why the suspect was angry at him, the court papers state.<\/p>\n The man said he ran into a restaurant to escape Boshar, who left the scene, according to the court papers. The man alleged that he subsequently received several threatening phone calls and Facebook Messenger texts from Boshar, the documents said.<\/p>\n Just before 3 p.m. on Friday, the man told police he was a passenger in a car with two friends, including one who had his 3-year-old son in the rear passenger seat, when they drove by Boshar’s West Ridge home and saw him standing outside, according to the court documents.<\/p>\n When Boshar spotted him in the car, the man told police that Boshar produced a handgun and fired at the vehicle, according to the court records.<\/p>\n The boy who was paralyzed was about a block and a half from where the shooting erupted and was unlocking a Lime scooter when the stray bullet hit him, according to the court documents.<\/p>\n![\"ABC](\"https:\/\/i.abcnewsfe.com\/a\/f2a3da4a-2ff3-4684-9adf-f87d3db0c7c5\/chicago-ht-er-261008_1791472959118_hpMain_4x3.jpg?w=375 "\\"ABC")
