Demarkus Ross Arrested for Armed Home Invasion, Kidnapping in Oak Lawn Condo

Demarkus Ross of Worth, Illinois, was arrested after an armed home invasion and robbery at an Oak Lawn condominium on Sunday afternoon. The incident began when a man attempted to open a woman's window but fled upon being seen. Shortly after, Ross forcibly entered a male resident's condo, held him at gunpoint, locked him in the bathroom, and attempted to escape with stolen items and the victim's car. Police quickly responded, set up a perimeter, deployed a drone, and apprehended Ross about a block away with stolen property and the car key in his possession. Ross confessed to the crime and faces multiple Class X felony charges, including home invasion with a firearm, armed robbery, and kidnapping. He also has a criminal history involving theft, trespassing, and resisting arrest, and was scheduled for a court hearing shortly after his arrest.
