On August 2nd, Davell Holden was killed in the 160 block of Drexel Avenue. Javan Moore, 21, and Demon Smith, 20, have now been charged by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.
According to investigators, the root of the killing is mistaken identity. Holden’s girlfriend lived on the same street as the target of Moore and Smith and he was visiting. Police say Holden resembled that person who no longer lived on that street.
“This was a tragic and sickening incident. While we are grateful to have made the arrests, we are deeply saddened for Davell’s family and friends,” South Holland Mayor Don De Graff said in a statement. “No family should ever experience this kind of loss, and our community stands with them during this difficult time.”
According to reports, Moore was the shooter and stands charged with first degree murder. Smith and a juvenile are charged with felony murder.
