Four teens have been charged in the shooting death of an Oakwood man who they intended to purchase drugs from, as well as the death of a teenager who participated in the crime.
Chief Deputy Michael Hartshorn says 18-year-old Ali Bryant, 17-year-old Camarion Halton, 16-year-old Jaevin Griggs and a 15-year-old boy face charges of murder, armed robbery, robbery and mob action in the deaths of 19-year-old Wyatt Bailey and 15-year-old Clayvonte Sloan.
Hartshorn says the four men charged as well as Sloan drove to Bailey’s mobile home at the intersection of Lee and Wayne streets in Oakwood Sunday around 2:45 p.m. intending to purchase drugs from him. During the incident, Bailey and Sloan were shot.
The four men charged plus Sloan then fled the scene but were stopped and arrested by a deputy along Route 150 near Batestown.
Sloan was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, where he later died.
The four men are being held at the Public Safety Building awaiting arraignment on their charges.
