A judge Saturday denied bail for an 18-year-old man who prosecutors say beat, robbed and carjacked 61-year-old Jin Yut Lew, leaving him for dead in the Chinatown area in April.
Lew, who was left permanently disabled after the attack, is still not doing well and needs round-the-clock care, according to police.Termaine D. Patterson, 18, appeared before Cook County Judge Maryam Ahmad after being charged with attempted murder, aggravated vehicular hijacking, armed robbery and illegal use of a credit card.
Lew, who was driving a black SUV was approached by a blue vehicle that Patterson admitted to stealing shortly before the attack, according to prosecutors. Lew was taken to the hospital with multiple skull fractures, a brain bleed, and severe swelling to the head, prosecutors said.Patterson, who was scheduled to finish high school in January, was also seen on surveillance entering a Shell gas station while wearing a mask, prosecutors said.After he pulled it down at one point, revealing his face, he made a $20 purchase with Lew’s credit card, prosecutors said.
“When you have someone so young facing these types of charges and is already on bond for possession of another stolen motor vehicle in this court, [Patterson] presents a real and present danger to the community,” Ahmad said.“Lew is still not doing well,” Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said at a Friday evening news conference at police headquarters, 3510 S. Michigan Ave., to announce the charges against Patterson. “He needs 24-hour care.
Eventually, video captured some of their faces, and based on the locations of Lew’s vehicle, police “placed” the attackers in the area, Deenihan said.
