Danzy admitted to buying the gun from a dealer in Hammond and giving it to a convicted felon from Illinois who could not legally purchase a firearm.
Cook County prosecutors have said French and two other officers were on patrol in a marked squad car around 9 p.m. on Aug. 7, 2021, when they pulled over a gray SUV with expired plates near 63rd and Bell.
French later died of a gunshot wound to the back of her head. Yanez survived, but lost an eye in the shooting, and isEric Morgan, 23, faces multiple counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, obstruction of justice, and aggravated battery in the shooting. Danzy dances online – and some of the videos he posts are in a classroom setting. At the time of his arrest, he had been employed as a Head Start teacher's aide in the Merrillville Community School Corporation since 2019. Prior to his arrest in this case, he had no criminal record.
De Mar asked Danzy if Morgan gave him any indication why he wanted the gun back when prosecutors said Danzy purchased it on March 18 in Hammond, Indiana. Danzy replied,"No, not at all."
