2 Chicago men charged in connection with deadly shooting on Far North Side

CHICAGO — Two Chicago men are facing felony charges in connection with a Far North Side shooting that left one person dead and another injured in early April.

Authorities say 30-year-old Deandre Loveless and 21-year-old Jamar Hill are each facing felony charges, including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

According to Chicago police, the charges stem from a deadly shooting that allegedly unfolded on April 9, in the 6900 block of North Glenwood Avenue, in the city’s Rogers Park neighborhood.

Police say Loveless and Hill were allegedly involved in the shooting that left a 33-year-old man fatally wounded. Another victim, a 41-year-old man, was also hit by gunfire during the incident.

Both suspects appeared in court on Friday for detention hearings.

According to a bond proffer, Loveless allegedly acted as the getaway driver during the shooting, while using a rented gray Ford Edge, and surveillance cameras captured the duo’s movements leading up to the deadly shooting.

After picking up Hill and making several stops, Loveless allegedly drove to a Dunkin Donuts beneath the Morse Red Line stop where the 33-year-old victim was a customer, court documents say.

Prosecutors allege that once in front of the restaurant, Loveless pulled the car into a position so Hill could spring an attack on the victim from the passenger seat.

Hill then allegedly exited the car and began chasing the victim before opening fire. Amid the gunfire, the 33-year-old man was fatally shot and the second victim, who was walking their dog nearby, was hit once, prosecutors say.

According to court documents, after the shooting, Hill ran back to Loveless who was waiting in waiting in the car, and the two fled the scene.

The bond proffer indicates that Loveless returned the vehicle two hours after the deadly shooting.

Authorities eventually caught up with Loveless and Hill on Wednesday morning and the two were taken into custody only hours apart.
