Chicago-a man who pleaded guilty for carjacking from a director at the shot in Chinatown was given a seven-year prison sentence on Wednesday. Dante Williams, 22, has been in custody since he was arrested in the case in the case on 1 April 2022, and it is not expected to be in prison for a while.
The carjacking took place at 7:10 pm on March 27, 2022, in the 2400 block of South Canal. The Chicago police said a 48-year-old man was trying to park when he saw Williams and another man walking towards him through an alley.

Williams’ accomplice hit the victim in the face while both men ordered the victim to get out of the car, said officials. A nearby security camera recorded the whole thing.
When the police found the hijacked Acura MDX on April 1, Williams was alone in the car, prosecutors said. He reportedly jumped out when the police approached and walked away while holding his waist. Police officers caught up with him and then pulled their steps back, looking for a gun that he might have dumped. They found one in some bushes. Williams later admitted that he had the gun.
On Wednesday, Williams argued guilty of aggravated kaacking of vehicles and illegal possession of a weapon. Judge Pamela Stratigakis sentenced him to six years before carjacking and a successive prison sentence for owning the firearm, according to the court reports.
She noticed that he earned 1,320 days of credit for his sentence while he was in custody. After the seven -year sentence has been reduced by 50% for good behavior, he should be able to go home after completing the admission procedures of the Illinois Department of Corrections.
