HOFFMAN ESTATES – Three men have been arrested in connection with a Hoffman Estates drug deal that led to a 26-year-old McHenry man being shot in the face.

Rasool Haleem, 31, of Streamwood, Luis Segovia, 18, of West Chicago and Ryan Ratliff, 26, of Elgin were charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated robbery, Hoffman Estates Police Lt. Darin Felgenhauer said.

About 10:30 p.m. Dec. 1, Hoffman Estates police and fire personnel were called to the parking lot of 4600 W. Higgins Road, Hoffman Estates, for reports of shots fired and a man who had been shot lying in the parking lot, Felgenhauer has said.

According to documents from Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Maureen McGee, the McHenry man had arranged to sell marijuana to Ratliff. A witness who drove the victim to Hoffman Estates for the drug deal said he saw Ratliff threaten the victim with a handgun, prosecutors said.

After the McHenry man gave Ratliff a box of marijuana, Ratliff ran away and the witness and victim followed in a car, prosecutors said. The McHenry man then got out of the car and chased Ratliff on foot, and the witness later heard a gunshot, prosecutors said.

The witness reached the victim and saw he had been shot in the face, prosecutors said.

Paramedics tended to the McHenry man and took him to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. As of Monday afternoon, he was in stable condition, Felgenhauer said.

Prosecutors said the victim had a bullet lodged in his aorta, and later identified Ratliff as the shooter in a photo array.

Segovia was the driver of the getaway car, which was owned by Haleem, prosecutors said. Haleem’s phone also revealed communications setting up the drug deal with the victim, prosecutors said.

Segovia and Haleem made videotaped statements confirming the events, prosecutors said.

Both men are being held on $2 million bail, according to police and the Cook County Sheriff’s Department of Corrections records. They face up to 30 years in prison, if convicted.

Ratliff was taken into custody Tuesday and is awaiting a bond hearing, police said.
