More Charges

  • A second man has been charged with murder in connection with the attempted robbery on Lake Shore Drive that ultimately led to a woman's death.

    Devonte M. Dodd, 20, of the 400 block of E. Chicago Ave faces two felony counts of murder, one felony count of attempted robbery with a firearm, and one misdemeanor count of mob action, police said in a release Saturday.

    Officials said Dodd approached the victims, 32-year-old Pamela Johnson and her 43-year-old boyfriend, and announced a robbery. He then chased the victims as 18-year-old Semaj Waters, who is also facing charges, pointed a handgun in their direction, police said.
Someone related that the first subject charged was from Indiana? We guess there aren't enough targets across the border so they have to come all the way to Chicago to find trouble.

Nice job by all involved to keep wrapping this up.

Maybe because Indiana has better carry permit rules, and a Hoosier victim is more likely to put the critter down?

Too bad neither Pamela nor her boyfriend were carrying?

Then again, with the bleeding ass IL ASAs, if Ms. Johnson had shot one of the thugs, the "system" probably would have made her wish she was dead.

Yes felonious border crossers can be a problem. At least he brought his own gun.

And they will all get 7-10 years and be out in less than 4.

Pamela will still be dead.

Indiana has enough targets, but they also have the death penalty. Might as well drive to Illinois where the worst you can get is to sit in prison for a few decades, then collect a few hundred thousand dollars compensation for errors in the prosecution.

Semaj Waters was the other one charged. How VERY creative: James, spelled backwards. Would it kill people to name their kid James? Or Steve?

So accused murderer Devonte M. DODD resides in the (nonexistent) 400 block of E. Chicago Ave.. That address means that he either lives in the middle of Lake Shore Drive or his "crib" is in Lake Michigan. The easternmost building on Chicago Ave. is the Northwestern University Law School, 375 E. Chicago Ave.

If found guilty, hope the sentences are MAX.

Too bad we have no Death Penalty in Illinois.

Next case.

I've seen quotes by offenders family and activists that the police don't know what they're doing and it's a rush to judgement.
Unbelievable.

Thanks police and thanks to others who seemed to get it and co operated with police. This woman did not deserve what happened to her and it is unusually refreshing to think that she and her family are likely to receive some measure of justice.

Yesterday, Tribune --

"Devonte M. Dodd, 20, of East Chicago, Ind., has been charged with murder, attempted robbery with a firearm and misdemeanor mob action..."

Today, NBC --

"Devonte M. Dodd, 20, of the 400 block of E. Chicago Ave faces two felony counts of murder, one felony count of attempted robbery with a firearm, and one misdemeanor count of mob action..."

Media here having a hard time "geolocating" itself with both hands...

The XO in 019 got dumped to inspector because for 3 months there were NO ISR's done on the 2w. The commander is on the hot seat next. Expect some more changes as EJ starts to assemble his team. A lot of the GMAC dead weight will be out in the cold. Also the rumor at HQ is the creation once again if a citywide unit like TRU, MSF, SOS. Basically a straight time VRI unit. They will work out of Racine and 011 and will report to (get this)...Chief Kevin Ryan. You heard it here first.

Depends on what county the crime is committed in - Each County has a Prosecutor (no States's Atty). Some counties are better than other for "going away".

OK. There IS a "400 block of E. Chicago Ave" in East Chicago, Indiana.

Google Maps shows it as being the city waterworks! The street is heavily industrial and commercial, did not see much residential looking on Streetview, but who knows. Maybe Deonte was cribbin in the walkup over the fireworks store...

Anyway...they do travel these days. Poor people waiting for the bus, and the hardheads zoomin by in some nice SUV, on their way to do no good.

Remember the parolee, interrupted in yet another burglary, who hacked up a teenage girl in her house in Indian Head Park? I know he drove quite a ways to do that...

Purses from robbery victims at 5400 N. showing up discarded around 11500 S. Been going on for decades.

Does anyone know if we can get a FOIA request on the two offenders on how much government money they get, seriously people deserve to know how their tax dollars are being spent. Housing, food, cell phones, how much does their MMa get to babysit his kid dis, everything.

Unfortunately some people need to give their children crazy names. They will never give them anything that would really matter, like love, discipline, education, and a moral compass. The best they can do is give them a silly name, like "A Boy Named Sue."

And the kid lives down to expectations.

Thankfully these animals are caught, but how many are still roaming looking to attack and cause mayhem! It has been widely reportedly that isis terrorist group has threatened to attack this once great country, while in Chicago (chiraq) we already have our own urban terrorists preying on innocent people and they are traveling like a fast spreading cancer everywhere!

The new boss took over and he has changed what zero exempt gold star club! The players stay the same, the game stays the same simple deduction! Ed Sir you need to call out rahm on how short we are, we need what 2-3,000 more coppers? the overtime is nonsense just like putting a band-aid on a nuclear strike, until you hire more and a change in the presidency is done (No not hillary), things will only sink more! When police are not respected from the office of the President all the way down to the media whores who constantly look at anyway to demonize street coppers police stay in self preservation mode! Police are tired of being the next contestant "You be the judge" on the media circus show! stay safe protect each other stay fetal protect Blue! Thanks again SCC for all the long hours and hard work!

"And the kid lives down to expectations."

With the whole block busting his glasses and kicking his a__s for "acting white" and scattering his schoolbooks in the gutter until he lives down far enough for GSSP to zip him up and haul him off.

THEN the graduation pictures come out and it's "WOO hoo hoo hoo, he wud gon be a doctor."

No one here gets out alive.

The block reclaims its own.

Against concealed carry law to carry in lakefront park or pretty much anywhere in crook county except your own yard. Mine stays locked in safe in truck on the off off chance I would need it. Otherwise worthless outside of your own property. Anita would have thrown the book at her.

Wouldn't do ya nearly as much good on the digits he get slingin, stealing, robbing, burglarizing, fencing proceeds, Grandma (40 yo) providing free day care, siphoning gas, etc., etc. etc.

Obamaf__ing phone little piece of s__t worth about $5.00. There is not NEARLY as much "free" gov't s__t out there as people who never tried it INSIST there is.

Quit hallucinating, y'all, and look at the income derived from CRIME.

Wasn't so, everybody be sittin on the porch fanning themselves instead of driving stolen vans through windows on North Mich. after those God-damned stupid Gucci handbags.

Gov't can't hardly find its a__ with both hands anymore, especially in this misbegotten state. Lay off gov't a minute and look at WHO IS DOING WHAT AND WHY.

13 freaking City of Chicago "programs" to "help the homeless" and everybody going about the "stink in the Wilson and Lawrence underpasses." You think anyone wants to live like that, you crazy. Programs absorb the gravy paying "coordinators" and "facilitators" @ $65,000/year + when down there there is no place to wash your Jockeys or take a shower or anything.

This situation = next year's appropriations.

So it goes on...

"The richest man in China" is investing in a new 100-story hotel/luxury condos here. That's nice.

This is what it looks like from the street.

When venturing into the city and riding public transportation or strolling along the lakefront I make sure to have two tools of my trade with me. Rattan sticks have helped me out once and though I will not carry heat on me due to the fact I am not permitted unless to and from work for I am but a correctional officer to which sadly are insults, disdain, and disrespect are had upon us by a great many fools. A nice Heaven/Earth striking form can always work wonders on a human tire dummy for FMA practitioners.
