CHICAGO (STMW) – A 17-year-old has been charged as an adult with murder, in connection with the robbery of an off-duty Cook County Sheriff’s sergeant Monday night that left another suspect dead.
Devante Graham of the 10300 block of South Corliss faces one count of first-degree and one count of armed robbery, according to Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton.
About 9:55 p.m. Monday, three males tried to rob the sergeant as he was pumping gas at a Citgo station in the 700 block of East 103rd Street, according to Chicago Police and Cook County Sheriff’s spokesman Ben Breit.
They demanded the sergeant’s wallet, which he gave them. One of the suspects then pulled a handgun and aimed it at the sergeant, according to police. The sergeant then pulled his own gun and shot the suspect in the head, killing him.
Deonta Mackey, 16, of the 900 block of East 104th Street, was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:08 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. An autopsy Tuesday found he died of multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide.
Police said the suspect’s weapon was recovered at the scene.
The third suspect is still being sought, police said.
Looks like Felony Murder is being charged.
Does anyone remember the 'Good Samaritan' shooting in the Lake Street Cub Foods parking lot where a Thug, Darren Evanovich, was shot by a still un-named permit holder ??? In this attempted robbery the Thug was pistol whipping an 60 year old Hispanic Cleaning Woman in the parking lot and fled with her purse. The Good Samaritan chased him and demanded he give it up.
At that point the Thug, Evanovich pointed an EMPTY GUN at the Good Sam. Good Sam drew and shot him dead.
His sister, Octavia Shont'e Marberry (with a 'long criminal history') was involved in the robbery and they had apparently 'worked' that lot in the past.
I would like an explanation from Mike Freeman (Hennepin County Attorney ) as to WHY he did not ask for Felony murder charges in what is know as the 'Good Samaritan' shooting. Octavia Shont'e Marberry was involved in this robbery.
And she is now serving 3.5 years in jail w/ 10 years probation when released for MULTIPLE PROVEN ROBBERIES COMMITTED IN THAT PARKING LOT. This girl, Evanovich (and her mother) were proven to be inside the adjacent Target using victims credit cards WHILE THE POLICE WERE TAKING THE VICTIMS REPORT.
Sister's Mug Shot:
Octavia Shonte Marberry, 20, of Minneapolis, has been charged with robbing two women in Minneapolis parking lots. Her brother, Darren Evanovich, was shot and killed during another Minneapolis robbery this month.
Momma:
The Question Here Is: Is the Hennepin County Prosecutor, Mike Freeman, who will surely run for Governor in the future...'Soft on Crime'?
He gets credit for not 'leaking' the name of the permit holder but...WOULD HAVE A MORE AGGRESSIVE PROSECUTOR ASKED FOR FELONY MURDER IN THE 'GOOD SAMARITAN' CASE.
Someone who travels in the circle of criminal defense attorneys and the local Law enforcement scene may have an opinion.
I have heard the theory that when a Chicago Gang-Banger gets too hot in Chicago...they relocate up to Minneapolis where the livin' is easy.
