Shooting Sparks New Robbery Charges | Chicago News

A botched robbery attempt in Country Club Hills led to a shocking twist: undercover agents were targeted, a Chicago cop fired—hitting Demond Edwards—and video footage shattered the FBI’s initial account, causing charges to collapse. Two months later, new charges surface against Amir Fagan, Darrion Rayford, and Dontrell Gordon for attempting to rob ATF agents during an $8,700 gun deal; Rayford and Gordon escaped but were soon caught. Gordon was wrongly identified as the shooter. The case has shaken confidence in federal agents, prompting judicial scrutiny—even though no hearing occurred, the investigation remains open. Meanwhile, Edwards, uncharged, is suing Chicago over the shooting, with federal court potentially handling his case due to ATF oversight. Authorities including Illinois State Police and CPAC continue probing the incident. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
