DNA collected from a cigarette butt has led to charges in a fatal shooting during an attempted carjacking more than three years ago in Englewood, Cook County prosecutors said.
Damien McClellan, 20, is facing a first-degree murder charge after the FBI matched his DNA profile to the cigarette butt and a witness identified him as one of two gunmen who killed Kenjuan Scott and wounded Scott’s girlfriend on Oct. 28, 2018, prosecutors said in a court hearing late last week.
