CHICAGO – Two men who were shot by a concealed carry suspect who thought they were trying to steal his car in the Loop received prison sentences yesterday for their gunshot wounds.
One night in December 2022, the concealed carry holder started his black 2020 Dodge Charger with the key fob as he walked to the vehicle outside the Cambria Hotel, 32 West Randolph. But when he got outside, he saw a red jeep standing next to his car and someone getting into his car. Then someone in the Jeep started shooting at him, and he fired back, prosecutors said at the time.
The Jeep nearly hit the concealed carry container as it left the scene, and it fired three more rounds. At the same time, the victim saw another man get out of his Dodge Charger, drop a small computer used to steal cars and then run away, officials said.
Shortly after the gunfire, Northwestern Memorial Hospital surveillance cameras reportedly recorded Deangelo Webb throwing two objects from the red Jeep as he arrived at the hospital’s emergency entrance. Webb had a gunshot wound to his knee and the two objects he threw were loaded ammunition magazines, prosecutors alleged.
Meanwhile, CPD and CTA surveillance cameras captured Sebon Grisby “running, limping and grabbing his butt” as he fled the shooting scene, prosecutor Sarah Dale-Schmidt said.
He entered a Red Line station before returning to street level and continuing to Wabash Avenue, where he ran to a car and told two women he had been shot.
Grisby “dropped his pants and showed the women his butt, and one of the women recorded this interaction on her cell phone,” Dale-Schmidt said. But Grisby left before firefighters arrived.
He later arrived at Lurie Children’s Hospital, where staff members transported him to Northwestern.
On Thursday, Webb, 28, pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, and Grigbsby, 26, pleaded guilty to burglary, according to court records. Judge James Obbish sentenced both men to four years.
Their sentences will be reduced to two years for good behavior and further reduced by 698 credits earned while awaiting trial. Both men are expected to be released on parole in about a month.
