He is charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder and one count of attempted robbery with a firearm, Homewood police said.
Another man, Deandre Adams, 20, of Harvey, was arrested Jan. 22 and charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder and one count of unlawful vehicular invasion, according to police.
