A teenage armed robber was shot dead when he tried to mug a man minutes after stealing another car from a woman at gunpoint.
Daone Feazell, 18, was gunned down in Humboldt Park, on Chicago’s West Side, at 10.48pm on Tuesday, ending a brief but violent crime spree.
He was shot after approaching a man unloading his car on the 1400 block of North Artesian Avenue, brandishing a gun and demanding his property.
The 36-year-old would-be victim quickly pulled out his own gun and shot Feazell several times in the chest and head, Chicago Police said.
Feazell, who goes by ‘DaOne Noremorse’ online but is not gang-affiliated, was rushed to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The man who shot him used his legally registered firearm and also held a concealed carry permit, police said. He was not injured.
Feazell’s crime spree began just 18 minutes earlier when he robbed a man on the corner of Fulton and Kilpatrick in Austin and stole his grey 2025 Toyota Corolla.
Then at 10.43pm he pulled up alongside two women, both 27, walking on the 2500 block of West Haddon in Humboldt Park.
He jumped out of the stolen car and robbed them at gunpoint of their purses, phones, and wallets, before fleeing in the Corolla.
But his third time was not a charm and within five minutes he was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Police found the women’s stolen property inside the Corolla, which was confirmed to be the same one he carjacked earlier, they wrote in the report.
Feazell’s grandmother Vanessa Horton said she last saw him on Monday, the day before his death, at her granddaughter’s graduation.
‘When we got home he walked me upstairs and that was the last time I saw him,’ she told the Daily Mail.
‘He was a good kid – as far as I knew him. All he did was play videos games, he wasn’t into gangs or nothing.
‘I don’t know what happened.’
A local alleged gang leader claimed Feazell was not in a gang, ‘just a little boy that grew up in the hood’.
He claimed the teen had no serious criminal history and ‘just happen to fall off in some bad habits’.
Feazell’s family and friends reacted with shock and dismay to the news of his death,
‘Wtf, you was just at the graduation cuz,’ one wrote.
