In the early morning of September 10, 2017, 26-year-old Demarcus Antonio Chew, known to some as Peanut, was fatally shot in Burlington, Iowa. Chew had returned from a nightclub in Gulfport, Illinois, and was sitting in the backseat of a car outside his mother’s home on North 5th Street when he was ambushed shortly before 6 a.m. He was later pronounced dead at Great River Medical Center.

Investigators say the killing was carried out after a $20,000 bounty allegedly offered by the Black Pirates gang. Authorities charged five men—Emmanuel Spann, Andre Harris, Derrick Parker, Antoine Spann, and Ceasar Davison—accusing them of conspiring to follow Chew from the nightclub and carry out the ambush in Burlington. The defendants’ cases moved through different plea and trial outcomes, including a jury conviction of first-degree murder for Emmanuel Spann with a mandatory life sentence, plea convictions and prison terms for others, and an acquittal on murder for Ceasar Davison who was convicted on lesser counts.

Does anyone have information about Chew’s movements that morning or saw activity near North 5th Street before 6 a.m.?
