CHICAGO (CBS) -- CBS 2 is always investigating.

CBS 2's Marissa Perlman reports on the criminal history of the suspects charged in the murder of CPD Officer Areanah Preston. They all now face first degree murder and armed robbery charges in Saturday's killing.

All of them with a criminal history. Three of the suspects were 14 at the time of their first arrest. The youngest was arrested for the first time at 13. Each of the four suspects in CPD Officer Areanah Preston's murder has a lengthy criminal history.

Their records show a pattern of committing new crimes while on probation. The most serious sentence: Joseph Brooks, 18, arrested nine times since 2019. Charges involve a stolen car, theft and armed robbery.

Last September, he was sent to juvenile detention for a carjacking he committed while on probation, and was classified as a violent juvenile offender.

Sources tell the CBS 2 Investigators this case was closed just a few weeks before Officer Preston's murder. Jakwon Buchanan also 18, was arrested in 2019 for robbery. While on probation, he was arrested again for carjacking.

Last November, a juvenile arrest warrant was issued related to both of those crimes.

Then there's 19-year-old Trevell Breeland, who has faced multiple charges as an adult and a juvenile. He too was on probation at the time of the murder. His record dates back to 2018 and includes attacking a teacher and pushing his mother down the stairs. He's never been given more than probation or supervision.

The youngest suspect, Jaylen Frazier, is 16. his first arrest in 2019 was at 13. He served four years probation. While on probation for robbery, he was arrested multiple times for weapons offenses, armed robbery and having a stolen car. He too spent time in juvenile detention.

Three of the four have had some involvement with DCFS but the details of those cases are not yet clear. They are all being held without bond.

SOS different day in Chicago. Nothing resembling punishment is dolled out to career criminals until they murder someone and rarely even then.

Oddly, CBS didn't show any photos of the perps.

I suspect that we all know the ethnicity of the murderers anyway.

P.S. it's "doled out"

I thought the political slogan was for kids to BE SHOOTIN HOOPS INSTEAD OF SHOOTIN COPS. I guess they didn’t build enough basketball courts so they could all acclaim fame like James LeBron. What a pity, if they were encouraged to be a Dr. Ben Carson, or a Clarence Thomas. We need more rappers.

These are the type of feral animals roaming unfettered in every DemocRAT run city ready to steal, kill or maim any soft target no matter what race.

“While on probation for robbery, he was arrested multiple times for weapons offenses, armed robbery and having a stolen car.”

That has to be a lie. All the people who claim they are better than me say gun laws keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. /s

Time to start thinking about a little frontier justice. Hanging judges (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Charles_Parker), posses, oak trees, vigilance committees...could get interesting in the days ahead.

Before they attacked Preston, they had committed three robberies and stolen a car in the span of a few hours.

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-police-officer-areanah-preston-murder-a-timeline-of-the-case/

The Gunshot Detector alerted police but they did not respond because of a backlog.

20 minutes later, Preston’s Apple Watch alerted police to a fatal rhythm and they responded.

Article below that, woman arrested for driving around, hopping out of car, and hitting other women with a baseball.bat, cruised around, did it several more times.

Women were in on the robberies leading up to Preston’s death.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. When 10k illegals a day are crossing the border, they get shipped to the big cities. These third world primitives were raised where you steal to get buy. They will show these dindunuffins how crime is done.
It’s going to make a hell of a change, as in hell on earth for the average citizen trying to follow the laws and raise their families.
Be prepared.
