Overview

  • Judge John Hock granted the prosecution’s petition on July 8 to hold Sanders without bond following his detention hearing
  • Shortly before 10 a.m. Saturday, Sanders approached Carter’s car near the Cabrini-Green rowhouses and fired multiple rounds, killing 46-year-old Darrin Carter
  • After the shooting, Sanders led police on a high-speed chase through Lake Shore Drive, Michigan Avenue and Upper Wacker Drive before crashing and surrendering
  • Sanders’s private attorney maintains he acted in self-defense because Carter had previously shot him while prosecutors point to his decades-long narcotics and weapons convictions
  • Sanders is due back in court on July 23 as both sides prepare pretrial motions for his first-degree murder trial
