Deonta Dewight Mackey was 16 when he died on February 10, 2014, during an attempted robbery at a Citgo gas station on Chicago’s South Side. The sergeant drew his weapon and shot Mackey; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mackey’s mother, Tonia Stevens, said she did not blame the officer and described her son’s troubled history of assault, cannabis possession, and robbery beginning at a young age. She said a severe bout of meningitis in 2010 changed his behavior and that efforts to help him, including placement in an alternative school, were unsuccessful. One accomplice, Devonte Graham, turned himself in after surveillance footage surfaced and was charged under Illinois law that holds participants in certain intentional crimes responsible for resulting deaths; he was held on $1 million bond.

Does anyone remember the Citgo or the neighborhood that night or have information that could add context to what happened?
