3 charged in home invasion, shooting of local mother home alone with 2 children
DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) — WAND News has learned new details about a home invasion that left a mother-of-two shot in Decatur.
Alexia Templar was woken up to the sound of shattering glass and footsteps inside her home on the city’s east side near Hill Park around 4 a.m. Monday. She was home alone with her two young children when she saw two people standing inside.
She gathered her children and told the intruders to leave or she would shoot them. According to Templar, they started immediately shooting at her. She shot back, but was hit once in the arm and once in the hip. According to a sworn statement from the Decatur Police Department, this was the same hip she was using to hold her infant daughter.
After the intruders left, her boyfriend arrived and she was taken to the hospital. Neither bullet did serious damage, Templar said.
A Play Station 5 Pro was stolen during the invasion.
Later that morning, officers were dispatched to a home for a report of a man having been shot. The man, 24-year-old Deonte A. Stone, was later interviewed at the hospital by a detective.
According to the sworn statement from DPD, Stone told the detective that he was contacted by a 16-year-old boy he knew who had a plan to commit a burglary and split the proceeds. Another person Stone knew was also involved in the burglary plan, Sophie, later identified as 25-year-old Colton L. Clark.
In the statement, Stone said the three went to Templar’s home with guns and forced their way through a basement window. Stone said they heard a woman scream that she was armed and that they should get out. He said that he turned away from the bedroom and that is when he was shot in the back. Stone said the teenager is the only person who shot at Templar, and that neither he nor Clark fired their guns.
A consent search was conducted at the home where the 16 year old lives and a Play Station 5 Pro was recovered from a piece of luggage.
Stone was charged with home invasion, while Clark and the 16-year-old were charged with attempted murder, home invasion, and aggravated battery with a firearm.

HOUSTON — Houston police are searching for two suspects involved in a home invasion that turned deadly in southwest Houston Wednesday.It happened at an apartment complex on Leawood Boulevard near Bissonett Street.
HPD said three men broke into the apartment and pistol-whipped the resident. That resident’s father spoke to KHOU 11 News and said his son called him to let him know someone was trying to break in. The father then called a friend who was nearby to help.
The father said when the friend got there, the son was tied up, being choked with an extension cord.
“My friend was able to get his pistol and they let my son go. One of the guys dropped the pistol and a third party came out of the closet, out of the room, and then they started scuffling and my son started shooting. So my son was able to shoot his way out of there,” he said.
One of the suspects was shot. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.
Sgt. Ross Watson with HPD said this was “definitely targeted.”
