A Chicago man allegedly beat two men to death with a hammer inside the same Gresham home where he was also holding and repeatedly beating his girlfriend over the course of several days, prosecutors said Monday.
A file photo shows a crime scene blocked off by the Chicago Police Department.
Hanichek said Jones’ alleged series of crimes spanned more than a week, beginning on March 17 inside an apartment in the 8300 block of South Sangamon Street. Jones and his 18-year-old girlfriend had lived there for a time with Washington, but had since been kicked out. Jones’ girlfriend saw Washington’s body on the ground, but Jones ordered her to go into a bedroom. By the time she came out of the room the next morning, Jones had moved the body into a closet and cleaned up the blood, Hanichek said.
As they walked in the home, Jones allegedly grabbed the hammer again and beat Jackson to death. According to Hanichek, Jones moved Jackson’s body into the same closet where he’d left Washington. He then told the woman he was “too tired” to clean up the blood and ordered her to do it. The woman waited nearly an hour to ensure Jones had really left before she fled to a nearby gas station where she called her uncle. She was taken to the hospital and told authorities where they could find the bodies of Washington and Jackson as well as the hammer Jones allegedly used to kill them.
