Overview

  • Angelique Mobley, identified as the toddler’s biological mother, and accomplices Lamon Weathers and Matthew Price face charges including kidnapping, residential burglary, armed kidnapping and possession of a stolen vehicle.
  • The 2-year-old was taken at gunpoint from her grandmother’s South Michigan Avenue apartment and was found safe that night in Danville after police traced tips through a relative.
  • Mobley and Weathers were arrested Wednesday evening in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, and Price was taken into custody early Thursday in North Lawndale.
  • During Saturday’s detention hearing, a Cook County judge described the plot as a premeditated, firearm-driven home invasion and ordered all three to remain jailed pending further proceedings.
  • Authorities have not identified a fourth participant mentioned in court, and prosecutors may file additional charges as the investigation unfolds.
