$10K Reward Offered For Suspect In 7-Year-Old's Shooting Death

CHICAGO — The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Devontay Anderson, who is believed to have fled the state. Anderson, who turns 22 later this month, is a suspect in the shooting death of 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams.

On April 26, Anderson was charged with first degree murder in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, and a state warrant was issued for his arrest. A federal arrest warrant was issued for Anderson on April 29, after he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

According to federal charges based on Chicago police reports, Anderson shot an AK-47 into a car as Jaslyn and her father waited in the drive-thru lane of a West Side McDonald’s last month. Jaslyn was shot six times; her father was shot in the back but survived. Chicago police believe the shooting was gang related.

A GPS tracker showed Anderson’s cell phone last being active in Miami, Fla., where he is said to have associates. A federal arrest warrant was issued for his arrest on April 29, that was unsealed this week in federal court.

Anderson is black, is 5-feet-5-inches tall, and weighs between 150 and 160 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes, with a small tattoo of capital letters written in script over his right eyebrow. Anderson has been known to go by the aliases of “Devontay Anderson, Devontay D. Anderson, "Vontay" and "Moneybag." The feds say he has contacts in Illinois, Indiana and Florida.

Jaslyn , who lived in Oak Park with her mother, and her 29-year-old father, Jontae Adams were waiting in the drive-thru lane of McDonald's, 3200 W. Roosevelt Road, on April 18. Surveillance video showed a 2017 Audi 88 pull up behind Adams’ 2003 Infiniti. Two men got out of the Audi and began firing dozens of rounds into Adams’ car, according to the newly unsealed federal charges.

Chicago police were able to identify one of the men on the video as Anderson, who is alleged to have opened fire with a Draco AK-47 pistol. The two men got back in the Audi and left the scene. When officers arrived, they found the Infiniti riddled with bullets. The gravely injured child was loaded into a patrol car and rushed to Stroger Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her father suffered a gunshot wound in the back.

Anderson was identified by photos on his Facebook page, police said. On April 26, a warrant was issued for Anderson’s arrest, charging him with first-degree murder. Police put a GPS tracker on Anderson placing him in Miami, Fla. The next day, police said the tracker still showed Anderson as active. Anderson was also matched with the photo on his state ID, the charges said.

Two other suspects are in custody, Marion Lewis, 18, and 21-year-old Demond Goudy. Lewis was taken into custody on the Eisenhower Expressway, when police said he tried to carjack a family after his own vehicle crashed into a ditch. Lewis was shot several times by police. Both men are being held without bail at Cook County Jail.

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office will extradite Anderson when he is apprehended, the federal charges said.

Anderson is to be considered armed and dangerous.
