A violent crime spree across Chicago in the early hours of February 11, 2026, left two men dead, including 45-year-old Damon Kellum. According to the timeline, two suspects allegedly carried out multiple carjackings and robberies from the North Side’s Boystown area to the South Side. The first killing occurred in Lakeview, where Darwin Tirado was shot during a carjacking. Less than an hour later in the Oakland neighborhood, at about 4:42 a.m., Damon Kellum was sitting in his Nissan Altima on South Lake Park Avenue when a Hyundai Sonata — stolen in the earlier carjacking — blocked his path. An individual believed to be one of the suspects approached Kellum’s driver’s side door and Kellum was fatally shot in the eye; his body was later found beside the abandoned Hyundai and pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance footage tracked the suspects through the city, including an attempted carjacking at a gas station on South Wentworth Avenue and a later successful carjacking on the Far South Side. Investigators arrested Marquese Hill and Marshawn Sanders; both were charged with two counts of first-degree murder and numerous other felonies, including aggravated vehicular hijacking and aggravated discharge of a firearm. Sanders, 17, is being tried as an adult; both are detained pending trial.

If anyone witnessed the incidents or has information about the route the suspects took that night, please share what was seen.
