Arrested as teens, the men were convicted in a 1995 double murder, but were exonerated in 2017 after new fingerprinting technology did not connect them to the scene.
From left, Lashawn Ezell, 37, Charles Johnson, 40 and Larod Styles, 37, members of the so-called Marquette Four, join with many of the attorneys who helped to have their convictions vacated on Feb. 15, 2017. Chicago aldermen are set to consider the city’s largest police misconduct settlement ever: a $50 million deal for four men imprisoned after detectives allegedly forced their false confessions as teens.
Ibrahim and Ali were fatally shot on a December night by a pair of attackers at their used car dealership, Elegant Auto. The attackers then stole two cars and sped away from the lot at 75th Street and Western Avenue. Instead, the fingerprint evidence was matched to a convicted felon whose mother lived near the spot where the stolen car was abandoned. The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office has since interviewed the man, but declined to press charges against him.
The four men originally convicted of double murder were first interviewed by police after Cassidy claimed an anonymous caller told him McCoy was involved in the crime, Felker said.
