Three arrested in Decatur home invasion-turned shooting
by: Bradley Zimmerman
DECATUR, Ill. (WCIA) — Decatur Police arrested three people that they say shot a woman while breaking into her home earlier this week.WCIA previously reported that Decatur Police responded early Monday morning to a shooting at Stone and Whitmer Streets; as they were on the scene, a 22-year-old woman arrived at St. Mary’s Hospital with a gunshot wound. Looking into the shooting, investigators were able to determine what happened leading up to the woman being hurt.
They said she was at home with her children when armed individuals broke in. Armed with a gun of her own, the woman announced her presence, which caused the suspects to fire upon her. She returned fire, police said, and one of the suspects was shot.
The woman’s children were not physically harmed during the break-in.
Police added that two hours later, officers responded to a home in the area of North and Calhoun Streets and found a 24-year-old man with a non-life-threatening gunshot to the lower back. Investigators then determined that the 24-year-old, identified as Deonte Stone, was one of the suspects in the earlier home invasion.
Probable cause was established to arrest Stone and two others for the Stone Street shooting — the other two are 25-year-old Colton Clark and an unnamed 16-year-old. The teenager and Clark are both facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and home invasion. Stone is also charged with home invasion.

Man killed during attempted break-in at ex-girlfriend’s apartment in West Houston
A man is dead after attempting to break into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment late Wednesday night.
Harris County deputies responded to the shooting at 11:50 p.m. on West Village Drive, near the Eastex Freeway and Hamill Road.
They found the man, later identified as Wilbert Tayes, with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Preliminary information from authorities suggests that Tayes was attempting to break into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment by kicking in the front door.
During the forced entry, Tayes reportedly attempted to assault his ex-girlfriend’s 24-year-old son, who then retrieved a firearm and shot Tayes in self-defense.

Cubs have claws too, and KHOU is Article 86 again. Thanks, Gun Bunny.
I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate; and while the debate goes on, the canal does also.

I saw one of those “gray” looking Taurus revolvers at Academy a week or so back. It looks better in the photo than in real life. Otherwise, it probably works as it was designed to.
I saw an article that Charter arms is producing a 357 revolver that has an extra 9mm cylinder and Ruger is doing the same. I asked S&W if they had an option to take say the 686+ and provide a 9mm cylinder or at least make a separate 9mm cylinder for existing guns but they said simply they “don’t provide that service”. Pity as I like S&W better than the other 2.
Hack, is that one of your long lost relatives acting the fool? Add “poor victim selection skilz” to the list of charges.
Mr. Tayes was a little late realizing that his girlfriend was no longer into him. BZ to her baby boy for taking out the trash.
If Bull Moose thought Congress was a mess then, what you think he would think about the mess they are now? We could build a hundred canals with the money they have pissed away.
Only problems I’ve had with a Taurus snubby is they can’t swim…and they don’t float. Damn a leaky boat!
A stain on the Stone Family reputation. Looks like we’ll be making room for a wheelchair at the Stone Family Easter Dinner.
We all have one…
Most accurate .44 Special I own is a Taurus. Love to buy another. Garbage article, I want hard data, not unsupported opinions/comparisons.
Doode she’s just not that into you any more. But her son’s boolit is.
Congrats, son, by taking out the trash, you just made the world a little bit safer for your mom.
You would think by now the criminal element and disgruntled ex-boyfriends would know that everyone in Texas and Florida are packing, and they would rather bust a cap in their azzes before dialing 911. But then there would be a dearth of Feel Good Stories.
Deonte Stone? Momma Stone is going to be so disappointed in him. Hack Stone tried to help his younger sibling, giving Deonte the Decatur Illinois market to sell outdated and overpriced Red Hat Software, but he declined, stating that there were more reputable ways to earn money, such as home invasions.
He was just trying to live up to his middle name. /s/

Deonte A. Stone getting stoned on Stone Street?
Babylon Bee wouldn’t try that one…
