- A 21-year-old Chicago man who allegedly shot two women in the Lawndale neighborhood early Tuesday morning has been accused of shooting a clerk at the Karavan Motel in Cicero just hours before, Cicero Police officials said on Thursday.
David Victory, 21, of the 600 block of North Springfield Avenue, was charged with one count each of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, according to Cicero police officials
- Victory is expected to appear in bond court in Maywood on Dec. 18 to face charges in the Cicero shooting. He was out on parole after he was sentenced to four years in prison for robbery in 2009, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections and police.
He's on parole for a previous robbery, does another robbery and shoots the victim, then decides he ought to shoot the two witnesses he was with in case they flip on him. Not just shoot, but attempts to execute them.
That should pretty much make him ineligible for any future paroles or reductions in his sentences. But if he had already been serving 100% of his previous sentence, he wouldn't have been in a position to shoot three people inside of a few hours. Isn't it time for a "100% of sentence" law that keeps the most violent offenders in prison for their entire term of incarceration?
And this is also another fine example of how Chicago's draconian gun laws keep weapons out of the hands of criminals.
