A 20-year-old man with a wounded hip told the officers that he had been shot by a black man in his 20s with a beard, black shirt and army fatigue-style pants. Police found a man fitting the description a short time later on the 6400 block of Hegerman St. It was Keller. Police did not find a gun.

Authorities did not disclose a suspected motive. Keller was charged with attempted murder and related offenses. Separately, he is scheduled for trial on May 4 on drug dealing, drug possession and gun-related charges stemming from an arrest last Dec. 31. ••
