PEORIA, Ill. – A judge has ordered a man to stay in jail until trial after being charged with murder in a homicide on Peoria’s South Side last week.
The Peoria County State’s Attorney’s Office says 20-year-old Christopher Adams was ordered detained at a detention hearing Tuesday.
Peoria Police responded at around 2:45 A.M. this past Friday to a crash at MacArthur and McBean.
That’s where 20-year-old Teron Scott was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the backseat of a vehicle that crashed into a tree at Martin Luther King Junior Park, and pronounced dead at the scene.
Prosecutors allege that Adams’ vehicle was involved in the crash, and he admitted to being the driver. Surveillance video shows Adams allegedly driving recklessly to catch up to the victim’s car before the shots began, driving into the oncoming lane of traffic to pull alongside the victim’s car.
A second suspect, 18-year-old Kemareon Bell, was arrested Monday for First Degree Murder in connection to Scott’s death.
