After monthslong probe, 4 suspects arrested in Chicagoland armed robbery spree

OAK LAWN, Ill. (WGN) — Police in Oak Lawn announced charges against a group of offenders the department alleges is behind a monthslong crime spree across Chicagoland.

According to police, an August 2024 armed robbery at an Oak Lawn 7-Eleven located in the 4500 block of 95th St. eventually led authorities to the accused offenders. The suspects allegedly held a cashier and customers at gunpoint, police say, though an attempt to steal a customer’s vehicle proved unsuccessful.

Police believe the same crew committed several crimes and armed robberies throughout the southwest Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana areas.

An eight-month investigation resulted in the arrest of the alleged offenders. As of Monday, May 12, a returned indictment formally charges three adults and one unnamed juvenile: 19-year-old Damarion McClellan, 20-year-old Jamarcus Harris, and 23-year-old Donta Reed.

All four face various felonies, including multiple counts of armed robbery, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and aggravated unlawful restraint. Police did not provide booking photos of the adult suspects.

Anyone with additional information should call area detectives at (708) 907-4051 or text tips and video to (708) 613-TIPS (8477).
