A Chicago man was ordered held without bail Sunday for his alleged role in the
June killing of a 5-year-old boy and his mother, as well as what prosecutors say
was his attempt later the same day to have his accomplice murdered.
Larry Cox, 28, of the 1400 block of West 85th Street, faces first-degree
murder charges and an attempted murder charge in connection to the June
28incident.
Cox and Antonio Lewis, 18, who is already charged in the dual killings, were
looking to rob the home where Chavonne Brown, 31, and her son, 5-year-old
Sterling Sims, lived.
Lewis followed Brown into her home in the 5300 block of South Winchester
Avenue around 2:30 a.m. on June 28, after she took her fiance to work.
While Cox lingered in the car, Lewis entered Brown's home and shot both Brown
and her son in the head.
Lewis also tried to shoot Sterling's 11-year-old brother, but his gun
malfunctioned.
Cox and Lewis fled the scene with plans to split the proceeds from the
burglary.
Later that day, Cox called a third person and arranged to have that person
kill Lewis.
Cox told the third person, who has not been charged, that he would give him a
half-pound of marijuana for killing Lewis.
Cox and the third person met up with Lewis and drove to the 2800 block of
West Arthington Street so Lewis could retrieve the stashed murder weapon before
leaving town.
Once there, the third person shot Lewis 11 times.
The third person then returned to a waiting Cox and told him it was not clear
if Lewis was dead.
Cox went to Lewis and tried to stab him, but the knife's blade bent.
Cox then stomped on Lewis' head numerous times before he saw police in the
area and fled.
Cox was arrested Friday after he fled police and was found hiding under a bed
in a residence in the 5700 block of South Laflin Street.
Cox was on parole for an aggravated battery with a firearm conviction at the
time of the incidents.
Cox admitted to his role in both incidents to police.
Lewis was taken in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital and police said
at the time they were not sure he was going to survive.
A police officer testified last week in bond court that Lewis remained
hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

For all you people that's trying to change whats going on in the hood. This is the kind of savagery and cold-bloodedness that's going on in Chicago and coming to a theatre near you. I cary my 50 caliber just to dump the garbage. Fuck the city, mayor, governor and president. Whoever pushing them guns in here, we need some bigger shit. Keep'em coming. Im personally looking for a XM25 on a tripod.
If this is true what a savage....
