3 men charged in shooting of off-duty Chicago police officer outside bar in Beverly
Demitrius Harrell, 28, Bryant Hayes, 22, and Justen Krismantis, 22, are all charged in the shooting that paralyzed Officer Daniel Golden, 31, early Saturday morning. A flood of Chicago Police officers packed the courtroom for the suspects' bond hearing.Hayes and Krismantis were charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, while Harrell was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and two weapons counts.
Officer Golden and his 24-year-old brother were inside Sean's Rhino Bar at the time, prosecutors said. Family said Golden, who is a third-generation Chicago Police Officer and a U.S. Army veteran, was out with friends and family at the bar.Shortly after the three defendants walked into the bar, a quarrel erupted between them and several other people in the bar – though not Golden, prosecutors said.
Golden is seen walking alongside Harrell in the same direction, but they are not fighting or quarreling, prosecutors said. Krismantis then goes to his car, opens the passenger side door, and reaches in before going back to the corner of 104th Street and Artesian Avenue, prosecutors said. Golden suffered a gunshot wound to the middle of his back, while his brother was shot in the leg, prosecutors said.Afterward, video shows Krismantis running back to the two cars the group parked earlier. Harrell is seen walking from the street toward the two cars, at which point Hayes gives him the gun, prosecutors said.
