Murder Charges Filed In McClendon Killings

Though police had charged two teens - Reo Jonta Thompson, 17, and Gregory Brooks Jr., 18 - with several counts related to the murders of Ruby and Milton McClendon, they had yet to file murder charges against them even as it was reported one of the teens confessed. That all changed today as both teens were charged with two counts of murder in the perpetration of a robbery. The teens also claimed there was a third person with them, named Kevin Langley. CBS 2 reports, "The teens reportedly have blamed each other for the shootings, and charging affidavits do not detail the killings...investigators do not believe Kevin Langley is a real person." The pair, arrested last week in Cook County, have since been extradited back to Indiana where they are each being held on $250,000 bail. more ›

McClendon's parents, Ruby and Milton, were found dead of gunshot wounds in a south suburban forest preserve on Monday. Police later recovered the couple's car, abandoned along the Dan Ryan Expressway, and had named their Hammond, Indiana home as a crime scene. The suspects were also reportedly seen trying to sale objects stolen from the McClendon's home, leading police to suspect that the couple, one of the first black couples to move to Hammond, were targets simply because of their age and vulnerability. more ›
