Multiple suspects are now in custody in connection to the murder of a 16-year-old over the summer in what police call a case of mistaken identity.
According to authorities, the suspects were arrested and charged in the shooting death of Davell Holden, who was shot to death on August 2.
Police say Holden was visiting his girlfriend in the 160th block of Drexel Avenue on August 2 when he was shot by multiple assailants.
It is believed that the assailants were targeting another individual who had recently moved from the area when they mistakenly shot Holden to death.
Now, after a months-long investigation, those suspects are now in custody, according to police.
Javan Moore, 21, and Demon Smith, 20, were arrested in the case. Moore was charged with first-degree murder and is accused of firing the fatal shots. Smith, along with an unidentified juvenile suspect, have been charged with felony murder in the case.
“This was a tragic and sickening incident. While we are grateful to have made the arrests, we are deeply saddened for Davell’s family and friends,” said South Holland Mayor Don De Graff in a statement. “No family should ever experience this kind of loss, and our community stands with them during this difficult time.”
