JOLIET – Two men have been arrested in connection with the Sept. 27 shooting in Joliet that killed a 20-year-old man.

Darrell L. Stuckey Jr., 24, of the 200 block of Madison Street, was charged Thursday with two counts of murder in the death of Duntell L. Neal Jr., Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said. Stuckey was arrested Wednesday on several weapons charges.

Arshey T. Harris, 22, of the 0 to 100 block of Pheasant Run Road, also was arrested Thursday on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated discharge of a firearm related to the ambush on Neal, Roechner said.

"We received information that Stuckey and Neal had been in a verbal altercation earlier Sunday night and interviewed him," Roechner said. "The information witnesses provided was able to link Stuckey and Harris to the shooting."

Roechner said detectives did not know what started the argument but the victim and suspects are affiliated with local street gangs.

About 11:30 p.m. Sept. 27, Neal was in a car parked outside his residence in the 300 block of Union Street when he was shot multiple times, according to police reports. He was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center and pronounced dead three hours later.

The Department of Corrections reports Stuckey has been on parole from the Jacksonville Correctional Center since January. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison in August 2014 after pleading guilty to theft following an arrest by arrested by Shorewood police. He has previously been convicted of residential burglary and forgery.

Harris was arrested by Joliet police April 4 on a charge of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon after a drive-by shooting near Fairmont Avenue and Robin Lane where a 25-year-old man was struck in the buttocks. The vehicle in the shooting was described as a red Dodge Charger and police allegedly found a gun in Harris' car while it was stopped a short time later along with a red Dodge Charger.

While awaiting trial on the weapons charge, Harris was released on $6,000 bail with the condition of a 10 p.m. curfew, according to court records.
