(CHICAGO) A 33-year-old Chicago man has been charged with the November 2 murder of 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee.
Calling it one of the worst offenses she has seen in her 30-plus years as a prosecutor, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez says Dwright Boone-Doty and two others, set about their revenge for a gang shooting.
“They began going out daily, daily, armed with guns looking to retaliate,” Alvarez said.
Alvarez, says Doty had concocted a plan for revenge.
“At one point, Doty set up a surveillance of Tyshawn’s grandmother so he could kill her in order to draw out rival gang members. He also stated that his original plan was to torture this child by kidnapping him and cutting off his fingers and his ears.”
Alvarez says Doty approached Tyshawn in a park and lured him into an alley where he shot the child.
“Doty then picked up Tyshawn’s basketball and began dribbling it a few times before giving it back to Tyshawn,” Alvarez said. “He then asked the child if he wanted to go to the store. When Tyshawn said he didn’t have any money, Doty told him he would buy him whatever he wanted. Tyshawn and Doty were then seen walking off together, out of the park into a nearby alley. Once they reached the middle of the alley Doty took out a gun and shot Tyshawn multiple times at close range.”
Alvarez says Doty was facing Tyshawn when he pulled the trigger.
“He later made statements, and I quote, ‘seeing that bitch go in his head and Shorty, he was like he couldn’t take it no more. Shorty couldn’t take it no more.’ This defendant also later stated that after he murdered Tyshawn, he wanted to go back to the park and shoot it up.”
Alvarez says that Doty told investigators he had been working on a rap song in which he talks about his killing Tyshawn.
Doty has also been charged with murder in the shooting death of 19-year-old Brianna Jenkins on Oct. 18.
