La Salle gun suspect indicted on new charge

A La Salle man accused of firing a shot Oct. 29 in downtown La Salle – in an incident where no one was struck or injured – was indicted Tuesday on a new count of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon.

A La Salle County grand jury convened Tuesday and handed down the Class 3 felony against 28-year-old Larry J. Kelly, who faces up to five years if convicted.

Kelly already faces one count of reckless discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon, both Class 4 felonies carrying up to three years in prison.

Kelly, who is out on bond and scheduled to appear Dec. 15 in the La Salle County Circuit Court, has indicated he would seek private counsel.

He was charged after an investigation into an incident at 2:14 a.m. Oct. 29 in the 500 block of First Street. There, police determined, a gunshot was fired into the air.
