Two Charged in October Chicago Shooting That Killed Two Teens

The arrests follow a seven-month investigation into the South Marshfield Avenue attack.

Overview

  • Chicago police arrested Omarion Roberson, 19, and Jarvis Bell, 32, on Monday and charged them with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree attempted murder.
  • Both men are scheduled for detention hearings Tuesday at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse.
  • The charges stem from an Oct. 22, 2025 shooting inside an apartment building in the 8100 block of South Marshfield Avenue in Auburn Gresham.
  • Two boys, 16-year-old Dejavae Christopher and 17-year-old Tamarion Hakeen West, were killed, and a 21-year-old man was shot in the arm and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was listed in good condition.
  • The case now moves into early court steps after months of waiting for families, and the hearings could surface more details about how the attack unfolded.
