A man has been accused of shooting a pregnant woman to death and then moving her body into a Chatham alley

 


  The Judge had imposed a major decision in the case of 26-year-old Dontrell Anderson, who is facing serious allegations in a tragic incident earlier this year on the South Side of Chicago. The judge decided that Anderson will be in jail while he awaits his trial. This decision comes after Anderson was arrested by the Chicago police in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a place quite a distance from the scene of the crime. He had been arrested on a Friday and then taken back to Chicago to face murder and concealing a homicide charges.

The case
revolved around the brutal murder of 24-year-old Itzel Camarena, who was horribly killed during a visit with Anderson at his family's apartment in Chatham on February 18. According to investigators, the circumstances of her death were profoundly violent. They said Anderson choked Camarena and shot her in the face. The tragic act took not only her life but touched her family so dearly; it was made known that Camarena was six months pregnant while the murder took place. As the case is ongoing, so will the family and community members' coming to terms with this loss in pursuit of justice.

 

 

 



 

Prosecutors said Anderson shot Camarena as she lay on a couch. They mentioned they had security camera video of him moving her body, wrapped in a white sheet, into an alley. That alone-a damning piece of evidence-can raise a host of concerns about the circumstances of her death. Apart from the video clip, the police officers discovered a couch cushion with bloodstains that pointed out to a violence act that took place on it. However, police have not said whether they recovered weapons at the crime scene, an essential linchpin in building their case against Anderson. The body of Camarena was found about 9 a.m. The body was found the next Sunday, lying between two dustbins near relatives of the victim, Anderson. This fact makes this discovery even more disturbing because it is believed that the killer wanted to hide her remains close to the residence of the victim's family.

The Camarena family often reflects on her dreams and ambitions, remembering how she had always been so excited about the prospect of becoming a mother. She would envision her future as one who would nurture a family, love her children, and share many joyous moments in life. Along with hopes of being a mother, Camarena also dreamed of opening her own cosmetics company. Camarena wanted a brand that showed her imagination and passion for beauty-a creation of hers that would allow her to build something in the industry she loved. It is sad when those ambitions and dreams get cut short, leaving only an empty gulf within the surviving family. This has been one of the most unfortunate outcomes resulting from losing her and has brought a much heavier aura of sadness and hurt that they have had to deal with. Each day just reminded them of what was to have been, what might have been, and how impossible that future imagined with her is to attain without her. The family grieves the passing of Camarena, but they also grieve what will never be, almost as if they are grieving an event that should have been in their lifetime and for which they had a great longing.
