2 teens charged in fatal shootings of 5 Illinois family members
Prosecutors say the teens face murder charges after a targeted shooting spree left five family members dead and two others wounded.
- On Tuesday, Illinois State Police announced the arrest of a 15-year-old girl and 16-year-old Ja'ymier Davis after five family members were killed in a targeted mass shooting in East Saint Louis.
- The investigation began Sunday after authorities discovered human remains at the Samuel Gompers Homes on the 400 block of North 6th Street, revealing a spree spanning three distinct locations.
- Officials identified five deceased victims aged 74, 49, 25, 24, and 21—all related to the girl. Davis faces five counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and dismembering a human body.
- Marcus May, the girl's father, told the Louis Post-Dispatch his daughter plotted the attacks with Davis because she was upset with family members. Prosecutors will seek to transfer her juvenile case to adult court.
- Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly stated there is no further threat to the public, though authorities continue investigating the motive behind killings that injured two additional family members.
