Acting in self defense, a Lake View, Illinois man shot and killed a Far South Side gentleman’s club manager and injured the man’s fiancee in a road rage incident over the weekend, the alleged gunman’s lawyer argued Friday.

Angelo Bennett was grabbed in a headlock, choked and hit so hard he ended up with a gaping gash on top of his head, defense attorney John Miraglia said.

Charles E. Jones “initiated the violence” following a minor accident in Goose Island, Miraglia said after Bennett, 24, was ordered to be held without bail.
