Key Points:
- Chance Jamerson, 29, was charged with three felony counts of attempted armed robbery related to a Sept. 30 shooting outside Oakbrook Center that left 28-year-old Justin Hill dead and a woman injured.
- Investigators allege the shooting resulted from a planned robbery targeting a group purchasing limited-edition Swatch watches, with Jamerson coordinating with Hill to block in and rob the victims.
- During the confrontation, the Mercedes driver wrestled a gun away from Hill and fired, fatally wounding Hill and injuring Jamerson, who was also shot and hospitalized before her court hearing.
- The Mercedes driver is not facing charges, as Illinois law permits the use of deadly force to prevent a forcible felony, and authorities determined the shooting was in self-defense during the attempted robbery.
- Jamerson appeared in court Tuesday morning and was ordered detained; the investigation is ongoing with further updates expected.
