Loyola cafeteria robbery planned for months

Two men, including a dining hall employee, were charged with aggravated robbery after a cafeteria manager at Loyola University Chicago was held at gunpoint early Friday and forced to hand over money from a safe.
Rodrick L. Moore, 31, and Martell Howze, 25, each face two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of aggravated kidnapping in connection with the 2:30 a.m. incident at the Damen Student Center, 6511 N. Sheridan Road, in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Moore, who police reports say threatened the worker and took the money, faces a second count of aggravated kidnapping.
Howze, who prosecutors said worked at the cafeteria and spent months planning the heist with Moore, did not appear in court.
According to his arrest report, Moore approached the 39-year-old cafeteria worker and displayed what appeared to be a handgun after the dining center had closed. He then grabbed the woman by the arm and placed the supposed gun to her head, forcing her to remove more than $2,800 and place it in his backpack. Moore also took the worker’s cell phone and keys belonging to the university before fleeing.
The worker pulled a fire alarm to alert authorities to the crime, records show, and described the robber to Loyola police. Officers soon found Moore at the nearby Loyola Red Line "L" stop and he had the money from the safe in his backpack.
Police found the weapon, which turned out to be a replica, and the keys and phone were found discarded at or near the station, according to the arrest report. Moore admitted to the robbery and was identified by the victim.
While searching Moore’s possessions at the police station, officers found paperwork belonging to Howze that led them to believe he was a co-conspirator. In court, prosecutors said the pair had been planning the robbery for months and that Howze, of the 200 block of East 89th Place, provided Moore with information about the building’s layout and tips for getting past security.

Man charged with infant son's death- 2012 Chicago Violence Scoreboard update

A  Rogers Park man charged with his infant son's death had dropped him on the floor, shook him, then covered his nose and mouth until he died.
Rahsaan Condiff, 25, was charged with murder this week after a yearlong investigation into the death of his 4-month-old son Clayton and ordered held without bail in a Cook County Bond Court hearing today.
The baby's twin sister was removed from the home in the 7500 block of North Seeley Avenue shortly after the death, and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services says it continues to investigate allegations of abuse and neglect against both the father and the mother. The mother has not been charged with any crime
The baby boy was found unresponsive in the couple's home on Sept. 2 of last year.
Condiff and the mother told police they had fed Clayton about 8 a.m. and went to their bedroom an hour later and slept until 12:45 p.m. when they found Clayton “blue in color’’ in his sleeper chair.
Condiff told police Clayton seemed to have turned himself on his side and his mouth was partially covered with blankets, possibly obstructing his airway.
But an autopsy found Clayton had suffered several injuries and fractures to the spine, ribs, head and thigh bone. Clayton's twin sister was removed from the home and placed in the care of a relative, police said.
During the investigation, authorities said they learned Condiff had beaten and suffocated his baby son after the infant's crying woke him up.
When the boy's mother asked Condiff to feed the babies who were in their sleepers, Condiff, who had gone out the night before drinking, picked Clayton up and dropped him to the ground, facing up, hitting the victim's head on the floor, according to Kent.

When the victim continued crying, Condiff then "yanked the victim's head, leg and body up from the floor, grabbed him with both hands and shook him".
Condiff then "swadddled the victim with a blanket tightly, covering the victim's nose and mouth while the victim had a pacifier in his mouth, restricting his breathing. Condiff went back into the bedroom as the mother went into the bathroom but moments later, Condiff came rushing into the bathroom carrying Clayton, who had turned blue and was not breathing.
Clatyon was taken to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston where he was pronounced dead at 1:56 p.m. that day.
An autopsy later found that Clayton suffered multiple fractures at different stages of healing, according to Kent. Some of the injuries included several rib fractures, spine fractures, arm fractures, a femur fracture, and hemorrhaging to the scalp.
Condiff admitted to suffocating, squeezing, shaking and grabbing Clayton forcefully by the arms on previous occasions.

30 years in prison for slaying of father of 12

Seven defense witnesses took the stand to say what a good person Malcolm was, saying he was a respectful, hard working, member of the Senn High School ROTC.
But on July 10, 2012, a Mexican immigrant who spoke little English, was collecting cans to supplement his disability payment.  He was approached in an alley in the 6300 block of North Artesian Avenue  Malcolm and two friends, as part of a game they called “Pick em out.  Knock ‘em out.” Nicholas Ayala and Malik Jones, both 18, have also been charged in the attacks.

Mora, father of 12 and grandfather of 23,  lay unconscious in that alley for three hours before someone saw him.  He died the next day.
The three teens posted the video on Facebook and were caught.

2 men arrested trying to rob restaurant

Two men where arrested after they tried to hold up a West Rogers Park restaurant using a squirt gun but were told by the owner to return in an hour.
When Mario Garcia, 39, and Domingo Garcia-Hernandez, 28, went back to the restaurant on the 6400 block of North Claremont Avenue early Monday police quickly nabbed them.
The two men appeared in bond court today where Judge James Brown set bail at $25,000 for each man. They both live on the 2300 block of West Devon Avenue about a block away from the restaurant.
The men were charged with one count of attempted aggravated robbery each. Domingo Garcia-Hernandez was additionally cited with possession of a replica firearm.
The men entered the restaurant late Sunday night and demanded food but when the owner told them he was too busy, Garcia Hernandez said: "I will kill you, I have a gun with me’’.
Garcia-Hernandez, who is 4-foot-8 and 160 pounds, then displayed a “gun” that was partially concealed in a red T-shirt from under his jersey.
The owner, concerned for the safety of his patrons, then asked them to come back in an hour. So the duo fled eastbound through an alley. After they left, the owner called police and they arrested the men at about 12:28 a.m. Monday when they returned an hour later without the squirt gun.
