White SUV used in the murder

On March 6, 2017, at 11:40 p.m., Kamari "Bob-O" Belmont from THF 46 was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting just 38 minutes after getting released from jail, after his arrest in May 2015 for murder and armed robbery.

## Background

On March 6, 2017, at 11:12 p.m., high-profile THF 46 member Kamari "Bob-O" Belmont, who was locked up for murder and armed robbery, was released from Cook County Department Of Corrections after he beat his murder charge, and was bailed out for $10,000 for the armed robbery charge from his May 2015 arrest.

He was picked up by a friend on 2700 S. California Avenue in a blue car, where they drove southbound on California Avenue.

## Shooting

On March 6, 2017, at 11:40 p.m., just 38 minutes after getting released, Bob-O's driver stopped at a red light on 3330 S. California Avenue near the I-55 Highway (0.3 miles from the county jail), when a stolen 2017 white Traverse SUV pulled up on the right side. The driver and the back passenger of the SUV, armed with .45 SIG SAUER and an unknown .40 S&W semi-auto handgun opened fire at Bob-O's car.

The shooting lasted a few seconds, where Bob-O was shot in his upper left arm, right chest, torso, upper right leg, and in his butthole. Bob-O's driver was also shot by the SUV driver, where he exited the blue car, ran, and hid in the bushes until police arrived. Bob-O exited the vehicle where he later collapsed on the road, being pronounced dead at 11:57 p.m., with 24 shell casings of .40 S&W's and .45 ACPs found on the crime scene. Bob-O's car had approximately 20-21 bullet holes according to police.

After the shooting, the white SUV fled southbound on California Avenue but crashed 450 feet away from the crime scene into a gas station on 34th & California. The 3 occupants exited the SUV and were last seen running eastbound on 35th Street. They allegedly escaped in a getaway vehicle.

## Investigation

After the shooting occurred, police arrived where Bob-O's driver stated he picked up Bob-O from jail and not even 2 minutes later he heard gunshots and ran. Many other witnesses claimed one of the shooters was a black male wearing a black/red jacket. The .45 SIG SAUER was also recovered.

In February 2018, the white SUV was searched where on the driver's side, used Newport cigarettes were found, which matched the DNA of Ricky "Rosé" Anderson, a member of Young Money 051.

Newport cigarettes that were used were also found in the rear seat, which matched the DNA of David "Adjei" Oochie, another member of Young Money 051

### **Arrest (2021)**

On October 14, 2021, Oochie from Young Money 051 was arrested and questioned about Bob-O's murder after he was positively identified from Eye Witnesses, Cellular Data, and DNA Evidence. However, he still beat it due to lack of evidence. The next day on October 15, Kendrick "KD" Dorsey, a member of Young Money 051 was also arrested and questioned about Bob-O's murder, but also beat it due to lack of evidence. On October 21, Rosé from Young Money 051, who was already locked up for a 2020 murder, was questioned about Bob-O's murder after he was positively identified by eyewitnesses, cellular data, and DNA evidence, but also beat it due to lack of evidence.
