DUPAGE COUNTY – A Naperville man accused in connection with filming of another man is freed thanks to GPS surveillance while awaiting trial.

Jermaine Badie, 18, appeared in court Thursday to face charges of aggravated battery with discharge of a machine gun and unlawful possession of a machine gun, both classified as Class X misdemeanors. If convicted guilty, Badie risks a sentence of 12 to 45 years in prison.

The charges stem from an incident Monday in which Naperville police responded to reports of a shooting victim in the 100 block of Testa Drive around 8:48 p.m.

Police said they found a man lying on the ground, bleeding from a gunshot wound to the chest. The investigation revealed that a fight broke out between the victim and another person.

During the altercation, Badie allegedly pulled out a modified Glock with a silencer thread, an extended 30-round magazine and a conversion switch, firing one shot that struck the victim’s chest. The bullet missed his heart by inches, hitting his lung and exiting through his back.

Authorities said Badie then fled the scene and was later found nearby by officers.

“The allegation that Jermaine Badie pulled out a fully automatic weapon and shot a man in the chest following a fight that did not even involve him is outrageous,” said DuPage County Prosecutor Robert Berlin, in a press release. “Violent crimes committed with the use of firearms will not be tolerated in DuPage County. Our streets must remain safe, and my office will continue to vigorously pursue anyone accused of threatening public safety, especially in cases involving dangerous weapons, as alleged in this case.”

Naperville Police Chief Jason Arres praised the quick response and work of officers at the scene.

“Our officers’ quick response to this scene and their exceptional work on the ground resulted in the rapid apprehension of the suspect and the removal of a violent and dangerous offender from our streets,” Arres said.

Badie is due back in court Nov. 25 for arraignment.
