Bench trial proceedings in the circuit court of Cook County resulted in this defendants conviction for the 2005 shooting deaths of two persons Elijah Coleman, who was gunned down when he opened the door of his Chicago home, and this defendants alleged accomplice, Joshua Stanley, who was with the defendant at the time and who was shot in an alley the next evening. Apparently this botched robbery attempt was based on a plan embarked on by Stanley pursuant to a rumor that Coleman was a lottery winner.
In 2009, Chicago police who were responding to reports of gunfire near 73rd and Blackstone saw this defendant, with a gun in his hand, exit the car in which he was sitting. He threw the handgun back into the vehicle and fled on foot, throwing another object to the ground as he ran.
