Homewood, IL – Two men are in custody after a brazen daylight robbery of a Brink’s armored truck inside a local grocery store. The incident, which unfolded Tuesday morning, left one security guard injured after being struck in the head with a firearm. The feds are moving quickly to keep both suspects locked up pending trial.

According to sources, the two guards were in the process of collecting cash from a bank branch located within the grocery store on 183rd Street when they were confronted by the robbers. Details remain scarce on the exact timing, but the assault on the guard escalated the situation immediately. The suspects allegedly used firearms to threaten the guards and make off with an undisclosed amount of money.

Devonte Davis, 26, of Chicago, and Darrell Singleton, 18, also of Chicago, were quickly identified as suspects and apprehended at a residence in Calumet Park. Law enforcement sources indicate a swift response and coordinated effort led to their capture. The feds aren’t wasting time; they’re seeking to detain both men until their cases are heard.

Davis is scheduled for a detention hearing on May 8th before U.S. Magistrate Judge M. David Weisman. Prosecutors will argue he’s a flight risk and a danger to the community. Singleton, meanwhile, waived his right to a detention hearing and will appear for a status hearing on May 10th, also before Judge Weisman. The status hearing will likely focus on scheduling and pre-trial motions.

The case is being spearheaded by Acting U.S. Attorney Morris Pasqual for the Northern District of Illinois and Robert W. “Wes” Wheeler, Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI’s Chicago Field Office. Multiple local police departments assisted in the investigation and arrest. It’s a multi-agency operation signaling the seriousness with which federal authorities are treating this case.

It’s crucial to remember that a complaint is merely an accusation, and both Davis and Singleton are presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, if convicted of the robbery charge, each man faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
