Kamari Bob O Belmont, 23, was fatally shot on March 6, 2017, in Chicago a few blocks from Cook County Jail after being released that night on bond for robbery charges. He had earlier faced murder and robbery charges in a 2015 case in which Sorrell Marshall, 40, was shot during a robbery and died three weeks later; murder charges against Belmont were dropped in January 2017 under the state’s speedy trial statute while the robbery counts remained.

Witnesses and police say Belmont was ambushed by occupants of a white SUV that opened fire, striking him multiple times. The SUV ran a red light, crashed into another vehicle and its occupants fled; Belmont collapsed in the street and was pronounced dead at the scene. No suspects or arrests were announced immediately, and investigators reportedly did not view the killing as an act of street justice since the earlier case was not gang-related.

The timing and rapid public knowledge of Belmont’s release from jail drew scrutiny as part of the questions surrounding the killing. Does anyone have information about Belmont, the white SUV, or the events near the jail that night?
