A Cook County jury Tuesday convicted a 25-year-old South Side man in the grisly execution-style murders of a former Sun-Times employee and his family.The brief article also mentions that Phillips killed himself a month after the discovery of the families in their Chatham home. I remember that he had barricaded himself in a local motel. I also heard the family dog didn't escape the shooting!
Jason F. Johnson, also convicted Tuesday of home-invasion charges in the January 2003 crime, killed 48-year-old Prescott Perry, along with Perry's 18-year-old daughter, Sarah, her boyfriend, 21-year-old Ronald Ryals, and the young couple's 2-year-old son, Ronald Jr., in the family's Chatham home, prosecutors said.
Johnson, of the 50 block of West 71st Street, and another man, Immanuel Phillips, engaged in the bloody rampage as they followed through on their plans to steal an Uzi semiautomatic weapon from Perry's bungalow, prosecutors said.
If you wanted an update on this unfortunate crime this is it.
